I already had this set up in system preferences and I have the firewall set to accept all in coming calls. On the PC I the C drive set to share. The firewall set to accept all calls. Still no sign of my Mac on it. If I go to "go network" there is nothing showing. The windows Vista group is a total lose as it is all porn. Like I said with Tiger and XP the thing worked. Kris I looked at the sights you mentioned but what am I do do with them? I started out with a Lisa so I'm not a complete dunce but I need some help O.K.
