[G4] Wireless networking

[Eric Volker]

Valerie-

One trick that sometimes works is to map to the IP address of the 
Windows machine. Thus, if the windows machine has an IP address of 
192.168.1.1, you would go to finder, View>Go>Connect to server, then 
type in "smb://192.168.1.1" under Server Address. I'm sorry if you've 
already been through this, but I only just now read the last few 
postings.
