Hi Wamug,
I'm helping someone move from Vista to a new MacBook with a Time Capsule.
Time Capsule is connected to bigpond.com internet, and MacBook talks
to Time Capsule wirelessly.
Vista machine has an ethernet cable back to Time Capsule, and it has
internet connectivity as well. It did report an IP conflict, but works
fine regardless.
Turned on file sharing in Mac, but Mac is not visible from Vista.
Turned on file & print sharing in Vista (via control panel network
settings), but it is not visible from Mac.
Are we going to be able to transfer files using this config? If so,
what am I missing?

Hi Glenn,
I would try to avoid transferring largish amounts of data via wireless,
life is too short etc, by largish I mean more than 4 GB.
If less than 4 GB I would try to burn a DVD as this would give me a hard
copy as a bonus.
If a network transfer is still preferred I would try to have both
machines wired, even directly if it meant I didn't have to reconfigure
my network for a one-off.
HTH
Cheers
Paul
