Hi, I'm trying to set up a network so my G5/Leopard can share with a Windows 7 machine.

I'm following this guide http://gizmodo.com/5430678/how-to-make-your-pc-and-mac-share-stuff-like-best-friends. But I'm stuck entering the 'mshome' in the workgroup field.

In Network > Advanced > WINS I can enter text, but the field appears empty whenever I return. The NetBIOS field always shows MACxxxxxxxxx greyed out, and also next to it in greyed out text "MACxxxxxxxxx is currently being used"

Anyone know what I should be doing? How can I enter text into the NetBIOS field, and what should appear there? :confused:

Thanks in advance!
