Thanks for your clear instructions. I just taped them to the monitor for my XP box as I can never get that thing to be on the network consistently. I also absolutely hate window's wizards and while I'm at it why is Outlook such a bad program while Entourage written by the same people works so nice?
I have considered one of those ethernet network drives but I have never seen one that mounts to both windows XP and OS X simultaneously (besides a windows box doesn't cost much more). While I'm complaining those window's boxes seem to just get slower and slower the more you use them. Mine is so slow now I use Virtual PC on my Mac instead because, believe it or not, that is faster! Windows XP must just load up with background processes invisibly.
