I am running the following:
Mac G5, OSX 10.3.9 with a static IP on Cox Cable system in Las
Vegas, NV
static IP 24.234.124.99 (.99 is not the correct ending)
After setting Windows Sharing ON
the Apple dialog box says
"Windows users can access your computer at
\\wsip-24-234-124-99.lv.lv.cox.net\shareName"
but while using WinXP, network wizard immediately complains about
this
address...
Alternately, using \\24.234.124.99\shareName results in a timeout,
"the
folder you entered does not seem to be valid. Try another"
shareName has to be the name of the user folder you want to connect
to and you have to login in using that user's name & password.
The way I do it is in the Network places, I go to "Make new network
connection". Windows looks for any available share points and then
gives up and allows me to configure directly. You then get to a field
where you can enter the address - forget browsing for it. Click in
the link below the field to get some examples, so that you can make
sure you get the correct back-slashes or forward-slashes. Enter the
name as given to you by the OS X System Prefs, but making sure it is
in the correct format, and see if that works.
I don't have access to a Windows machine at the moment, so some of
the terminology may be wrong, but that's the idea.
HTH,
Sarah
