I've tried just about everything and can't get my iBook to connect to my XP desktop. The strange part is I can get to my iBook from XP without any problems.

I've checked settings on both sides. Repaired permissions, rebooted. I'm running out of ideas.

Anyone have an suggestions?

I didn't have any problems with this on Jaguar.

I've had similar problems.
Windows 2000 has that same prob, I can't see them, but they can see me. They are the users of their own ocmputer though, so I can't help them.
My GF's XP machine is different though, it won't see my Panther machine at all, and I can't see her. None of my current cross cultural nerd friends are using windows 2000, and not XP, so they can't help me.

If only Windows was as simple as OSX :D

I fixed it. Not sure how but it works. I think the logon/password may have been saved to my keychain incorrectly. Anyway...it works now. :)
