Hi guys, I have just installed Tiger. All went smoothly.
But now when I 'apple+k' to my XP box no user name or password will be accepted. Nothing has change besides Tiger.
Any ideas on how ti fix this?

Make sure Windows sharing is turned on in the Sharing Preferences. It sometimes gets turned off during updates.

It doesn't need to be on unless a Windows computer is connecting to your Mac. Does connecting to the XP computer by IP address work?

I'm trying to log on to the PC using 'connect to server' in the Finder 'GO' menu putting in smb://computersIP.
I changed the IP address on the PC and change the workgroup name.
Still no love
Is it the Mac or the PC?
I'll keep fiddling but please put up any ideas, I'm sure I will need them
Keep you posted

I started having the same problem after the recent 10.3.9 update. Someone suggested that I turn Sharing off and on. This woke my connectiion up.

Are you still on the same IP subnet?

What Reddog99 said. It really works in most cases. The XP box has to know it needs to "advertise" itself and its shares on the network, but it doesn't know that anything else on the network has changed-like a peer's OS-so it hasn't readvertised itself. Turning off sharing, then turning it back on (probably on either machine, but I'd do it on the XP box) should shake things up enough for the XP box to start talking.
