Well I have file sharing enabled...

I can view computers running XP fine on my Mac (10.5)..


But when I go to a Win Machine (XP) I can not find my mac anywhere...


What gives?
 
make sure your mac is in the same workgroup as your pc... system pref > network > aiport or ethernet (however you're connected) > advanced > WINS > type in the same name of the workgroup as your pc

There is, its just that is not called "windows sharing". It is under File Sharing, options..., make sure you select "Share folders and files under smb".

Ya, seems like Apple is trying to discourage users from sharing with PC's... 🙄
