>Viewing Mac Files from a PC
>
>Because Mac OS 10.2 (Jaguar) contains a built in SMB/CIFS Server (Samba
>version 2.2.3a), viewing Mac files on the PC is straightforward. You can
use
>your Network Neighborhood to view the shared folders on your Mac. To do
>that, you need to turn on the Windows File Sharing on your Mac (as shown in
>Figure 4), and check the Allow users to log in from Windows option (see
>Figure 3). If the account you are setting is yourself, you need to type
your
>password into the Current Password field before you can change the
checkbox.
>
>SMB stands for Server Message Block. It's a lightweight protocol designed
to
>allow the sharing of files and printers in a small network. SMB has since
>been renamed to CIFS, or Common Internet File System. Mac OS X 10.1
contains
>only the SMB client, and thus you can only use SMB to browse for files on
>the PC, and not vice versa. Mac OS X 10.2 contains both the SMB client and
>server, and hence PC users can browse for files on a Macintosh. For more
>information on SMB and Mac OS X, please see the Mac OS X and SMB HOWTO.

>cable modem without a problem.  I seem to recall the URL you

>My son, more knowledgeable than I, looked it over and found it fairly
