Hey, I have a Macbook, connected to the internet via wifi.
connected to my macbook is a portable harddrive, which id formattd to FAT, so that both my mac and windows can access it.
Now, I want that harddrive to be accessible to otehr computers that are also connected to my router.
how do i do this?
my macbook is the only mac computer so im assuming i would have to do special settings on the windows computers?
i tried file sharing, and now on top of finder, when navigated to the HDD, it says that tis a shared folder...but it doesnt appear anywhere on my other computers.

please help.thanks heaps.
