4. On the PC, browse to My Network Computers (or its View Workgroup Computers, on the left somewhere)
You should see your Mac, you can the browse the files (once you enter your mac username/password)
great instruction (espeically number 1), but im finding after i click view workgroup connections, my pc tells me "Mshome is not accesible. You might not have persmission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. the list of servers for this workgroup is not currently avaliable."
im the only user of this pc, do i have to log on as an admisitrator? ive never set this up before. it might be a simple, dumb question, but i dont know where to go from here. is there any help out there?
