>OK, but where is it? If it can share files, so can the Mac, of course.

Umm actually no, but sorta, depending on HOW you want it to access the mac
files, and the Mac to access IT's files.  Just because one can see the
other's sharing doesn't mean the converse (I've not played much with XP Pro
though so maybe it's Appletalk services work both ways- I doubt though.  OS
X, I think would work, but not 8.6.  Someone can chime in here who has used
both).  But other ways to login to Windows sharing methods that I've used,
only work one way (the Mac could use Novell network shares for example but
that does NOT mean that the novell networked PC could access stuff on my
appletalk'd Mac...).

Well if this works for you perhaps just put Netpresenz or Crushftp on the
1400 and serve them to the XP via ftp.  Or run a ftp server on the XP
machine and an ftp client on the 1400 to talk to the XP box (if the XP box
is on a cable or DSL modem be careful which ftpd you pick, though).
