What?!? IPNR is absolutely fabulous, but it's like trying to pound
a nail with a watermelon -- what IPNR does is absolutely not helpful here.
The original poster is trying to share files between a Mac and a PC over a
network. IPNR is a software router, *not* a cross-platform file sharing
solution.
AppleShare IP, aside from being *not* free (it's $999 at
store.apple.com), is also not helpful here, as the original poster was
wondering. (AppleShare IP is for sharing files between Macs in fancier
ways than the built-in personal file sharing.)
What's needed here is either Thursby software's DAVE running on the
Mac -- so that Windows file servers show up in the Mac's Chooser -- or PC
MacLAN... so that the PC can see the Mac and believe that the Mac is a
Windows file server.
