Hey all,

I've been hunting the internet for the last several hours trying to figure out why my shared Leopard folders aren't showing up in XP anymore. I use to have no trouble transferring files back and forth and I'm not sure when it started acting up (it may have been when I updated to Leopard (10.5.1)).

At any rate, I can access the XP shared folders with no problem on my mac, but I'm not getting mac folders on XP. I've messed with it for hours and am at the end of my rope.

If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be most appreciative!

(and I realize that you might need more info, so let me know and I'll tell you what I can)

Thank you!
 
Well, somehow it fixed itself. Funny, the mac isn't coming up under the name I gave it (like it use to), but as now showing as its NetBIOS name, which I have now changed.

It's aggravating not knowing what happened to make it work, but whatever.
