I can see the contents to each of my other Macs by using "Connect to Server". Is it possible to make a similar connection so I can see the files on my WindowXP machines?

Down load Extreme "Z" IP From Group Logic. Seemless workflow we have used this app since 1994 it is the best software on the market for this.

Also there is a program which has received good reveiws called PC-Mac-Net FileShare (Shareware)
This will more than likely cost less.

You can also Share the folders /volumes on the Windows Box and connect via TCPIP or smb

Hope this helps

In Windows, just right-click on the folder/drive you want to share. Choose "Sharing" and proceed to share the item. Then, open up a Finder window and click Network. After a couple minutes, you should see the name of your Windows box appear. Select it, click "Connect" then just hit OK (you shouldn't need authentication) and select the share you want to mount.
