When you turn on file sharing, you are using smb. Below is the steps to use:
1. Open preference. 2. Go to sharing. 3. Activate the "lock to make changes" so you can modify your sharing profile. 4. Move to the service table. 5. Move through the table and select "file sharing". 6. Move to the option button and activate it. In this dialog you can turn on AFP, SMb and find out which accounts have access to SMB. 7. Turn on smb and then go to the done button. 8. The remaining options permit you to share specific folders and adding users that you permit to access your computer. You can also add share points as well. Once you have SMB turn on with file sharing, then the window user can use the computer. AFP only works between MACs.
