[X-Servers] Windoze remote connectivity

[Hari Tirumalai]

You can try:
Start->Run
Open: \\<ip-address>
(Notice the two back-slashes )
This'll get you to user-name, password window and the usual samba mount.
Hope this helps .. Hari

figure the quickest fix is to swallow my pride and ask.

The scenario. A OS X 10.3.5 machine with access to the 'net (IP address 
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX). File sharing setup (SMB activated for the shares), 
windows services running and FTP services running.

Remote Mac's can connect via "Go": "Connect to Server", type in IP 
address, provide userid and password and boom they are in as if it was 
on a physical LAN in the next room.

But how the @$%#@^%^ do I get a Windoze XP Pro box to do it?

Opening a browser page and typing in ftp://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX fails, 
Trying to map a drive fails.

I've read the Windows Services Configuration doco and didn't see 
anything pertinent.

Somebody out there must have done this successfully before me?
