I'm sure their's an answer for me, I'm just have trouble finding it. Here's the problem:

I have a mac connected to the internet with roadrunner.
My friend has the same thing with her PC running windows XP.
We both have sharing turned on.
I want to browse her music folder.
How do I achieve this?

Please explain it to me in steps so I will understand. Thanks.

She needs to have file sharing on on her computer, the router that she probably has has to be forwarding the proper port to her computer (TCP/UDP 445), and you have to enter the IP address of her router into the "Connect to server" window preceded by "smb://".

How can she do that?

You want to do file sharing over the internet ?
Then you definitely have to set up port-forwarding on the router that has the incoming requests, i.e. HER router.

I don't think port 445 is enough, though. I'm not familiar enough with Win XP to know what ports are being used for file sharing.
Google should know.
