Hello,
I've followed the guide on how to network pc and macs on this site. After finishing I am able to access files on my mac from my PC using the "run" feature on windows. However, I cannot access my pc from my mac.

I've lowered my firewall on my pc. I'm able to get to the log in screen... but I cannot get past that.

Also, I've noticed that in finder window, there is a "network" button right above my Macintosh HD icon. Can I utilize this way to connect to my PC.

Remember I have XP Home which is a pain.

When I type in my xp log in password in my mac when trying to connect to my shared folder, I get the error:
"Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured
(Error Code -41)"


Thanks,
