Hello,
Apologies if this question is plain stupid but I've tried for a while now to no avail. I have a MBA and I would like to access a Vista box w/in the same home network. So of course I set up folders to share as well as the DVD-RW drive on the Vista box, and on my MBA I've turned on File Sharing. But here's the problem:
I can see my MBA from the Vista machine, but NOT vice-versa. I cannot figure out how, w/in Finder, to access the shared folders or optical drive on the Vista box.
I figured it would simply 'show up' but they don't. Roxio Toast cannot find the shared recorder either. Oddly enough, I was able to use the MBA's "remote disc" to access that drive to copy file, but obviously that is all it can do.
I feel like I am missing something plainly obvious.
Any help would be much appreciated!
