I must admit I feel like a goose asking this but its eluding me and I
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?
