Ok I simply want to do (2) things:
Share files between my PC and Mac
Connect my Mac to the internet via my PC
Hardware info:
PC: Intel D940, Windows XP Home SP2
PCI to PCMCIA Adapter Card
Cellular Internet Connection through Pantech PC5750 AirCard
VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter
(no issues connecting to the net with the PC and the aircard)
Mac: PowerMac G4 (AGP graphics)
OSX Tiger 10.4.11
Built in Ethernet
(Also, had previously installed the aircard in the Mac and it connects to
the net with no issues)
I connected an Ethernet crossover cable form my PC to my Mac
Ran the network setup wizard in XP, created a work group, named the
computers, setup windows file sharing, setup permission for windows sharing
in OSX.
This what I have now….
in XP:
My network places/View workgroup computers/
My previous named PC
My previously named Mac
in OSX:
My Mac/Network
/XP workgroup folder/ My previously named PC alias (which can’t be found
when asked to connect
/Library alias
/My Network Folder (empty)
/Servers alias/mymac.local alias
I tried ipconfig in XP and found my PC and my Aircard (no reference to my mac)
checked IP addys and subnet masks
tried connect to sever using smb protocol (not sure if I used that correctly
at all)
smb://pc ip addy/pc name
results in error (the finder cannot complete the operation because some of
the data in “smb://xxx.xxx.x.x/pc name “ could not be read or written, error
code –36)
tried ‘add a network place’ in XP using the address under OSX accounts (no
luck, invalid address or permission errors)
turned off firewalls on XP
It would seem to me that this should be rather straight forward, unless I am
doing something very wrong basically
any help would be great….a link, a step by step, something I have just
screwed up…thx in advance
