I've posted some recent recipies on connecting windows and mac in the
past few days. Maybe some of those would help. In general if the Mac can
access the drive you should be able to share it over the network but
maybe there are some special exceptions. In general you'll need to have
file sharing turned on, then be sure to enable smb sharing, then turn on
smb access for any users you want to get in. From the PC side you need
to use the \\ip_of_your_mac\shortname_of_your_mac_username to connect
from windows. Then you have to use the link on windows to use a
different user name since you want to use your mac account shortname and
password, not some credentials Windows made up.

Still having trouble with this. The drive is indeed on the shared
table. I have selected all the methods to share files with macs and
Windows. I went to the add user dialog and added my account name, the
same name and password I use for both my Mac and PC.
I checked with my wife to make sure I was typing the password in
correctly when I added the user. My user name shows up in the table
of users, the drive shows up in the shared table. But when I go back
to my PC and try to acces the drive I get the name and password
dialog, but it tells me user or password is incorrect. Any other
suggestions much appreciated.

Bill,
Is the fat32 drive, that is connected to your mac as you wrote, indeed
part of the shared folders list in sysprefs, sharon, shared folders?
Hth,
Paul.

Hi.
Trying to get at the fat 32 formatted drive partition on my Mac from
my Win 7 computer. I have file sharing enabled, and I went to the win
formatted drive, called up info and checked file sharing. Funny thing
is, even though I keep getting an error when I try accessing the drive
from my win box I can access the Mac HD, and was even able to save a
file from word on the Mac desktop, despite the fact that the Mac HD
has file sharing disabled. I did check the share checkboxes, I even
reversed them, no help.
I have the same logon and password on my Win box and my Mac Mini. I
set up file sharing for my login account. Not sure what else to try.
Any help appreciated.
Bill
