Thanks to all on this list for helping me with my network problem between my G4 and my Windows XP Pro box. I only had one problem and it was a Windows problem. I tried to make one directory a "shared" network directory. That worked. It showed up on my Panther box. But anything I put in that directory would not appear on my Panther box. I had a fight with Windows for about 4 hours, and finally made one HD a "shared" drive. After doing that, all new files placed on that drive show up in Panther. I am sure this is just a learning process at this end (read: operator error), but it works for me now and that is fine. I am behind a hardware firewall, so I am not so upset about have a "shared" drive. Thanks again to all for the help. jack
