Hi I currently access a 120GB hard drive with all my music and shared files which sits in an external firewire case attached to my eMac. When I need something off it from my PowerBook I simply 'apple K' and connect to it, which has worked fine. Networking is so easy from Mac to Mac.
However, my wife needs a PC laptop for some courses and so the eMac is being sold to fund it. What's the best way to set up some kind of mass storage for both machines. I pressume a network drive connected to router would be the easiest, but I know PCs have trouble with HFS+ formatted drives and Macs have trouble with NTFS drives. So what's the best option for me to be able to access my files (music, disc images and anything else) from both Windows XP/Vista and Mac OSX Tiger/Leopard?
