On the PC side, set your drives so they are shared. Make sure your PC has a 'name' set. On your Mac running OS X, from the finder select 'GO' then 'Connect to Server'. In the Address area, type 'smb://<PC name>/<share name>. The drive will mount on your desktop. You can even connect to hidden shares.....your PC's 'c drive' is usually a hidden share named 'C$'....in the address area, type 'smb://<PC name>/C$' and the C drive will mount on your desktop. This has worked for me on PC's running Windows 2000 and Windows ME. Tim -- America--It's not illegal to be stupid here. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
