Help With Networking XP and Leopard

[thebiggoose]

This isn't working with Leopard and never worked with Tiger. I follow all of the steps in the guide. I made a shared folder on my Windows XP PC and got the internal IP address via ipconfig. I've tried connecting in Finder and the "Go"-"Connect To Server" menu.

I called Apple Support and they were no use.

I will be forever grateful to someone who can help me. Please guys?


On a semi-related note- Don't you hate it when you call Customer Support and they say "Hi, this is George" in a ridiculously strong Indian/arabic accent. Im not a racist and have nothing against Arabs/Indians but come on, your name is Achmed or Toolip or something, not George. It's like the movie "Big Nothing". Also when I called, I could hear other support people talking in the background. Two different women with Arabic accents said, "Hello, this is Sheila."

They are told to say that by their employers, in this case, Apple. It's a pathetic attempt to make consumers believe they are actually talking to someone in the US. What a rip-off. Like anyone is stupid enough to think that someone with such a THICK Indian accent can actually be named CHUCK!

In any case it's not their fault. They just do what they're told.
