Sharity works great for accessing PCs from UNIX. It sounds like you're trying to get PCs to access a PC share, through Sharity/Apache. I guess this might be because you want to store data on a PC, and serve it through an intranet?
I haven't tried that, as I like the way UNIX handles file permissions, so I like to keep my files on UNIX whenever I can. Since I'm running Apache on my IRIX box, I tried to duplicate your situation, and I got the same results, I couldn't see the share, but could see one locally. The apache thing is quite off topic for this group, so here's a quick answer.... I think it has to do with the Apache server running as User nobody, Group nobody, and the fact that the PCs accessing from a browser are using those credentials. Also, the default Apache configuration file might be restricting access, or ignoring .htaccess files. I have the Apache book by Peter Wainwright, called Profesional Apache. It's a great book. He has a new one out called Professional Apache 2.0. You might get it if you're going to be using Apache much. You might check out webmin, the web-based GUI for configuring different 'nixes, and they also have a module for configuring Apache through a GUI. http://www.webmin.com/ Hope this helps.
