Once you have shared a file on your PC you should, from the finder
menu on the OS X machine, select go and then select connect to server.
or you can press <Command>+K

in the address bar at the bottom of the window that opens type in
smb://yourcomputernameorIPaddress/sharename then hit enter.  you will
be prompted for a username and password and workgroup name.  unless
you changed the default from workgroup you can just enter workgroup
along with a username and password combo that exists on the windows
computer.  if you entered everything correctly the share will mount on
your desktop and you can use it as though it was on your local
machine.

:Good evening,
:	I am not sure if this has been posted before, but couldn't 
:find anything in the archives.  I have been a long time windows user 
:who recently switched to a powerbook.  Both computers are connected 
:through my airport extreme base station..the powerbook is connected 
:wirelessly and the pc is hard connected.  I was wondering the best 
:and easiest way to transfer files between the two, especially my mp3 
:files.  I have read how to make a "shared folder" on the windows xp 
:pro pc and I have seen how to turn on file sharing on my powerbook 
:using 10.2.6, but I must be missing something because I can't see 
:either machine.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
:
:Thanks
