After hours of searching I was able to setup a Mac with OS 10.x and a Windows XP PC to share files. The two computers where already networked via a router, so what I needed where the steps to take to turn on "file share" on both computers. Here are the steps: File Sharing on Mac OS 10.2 1) System Preferences – Sharing – Check ON "Windows File Sharing" 2) System Preferences – Accounts – New User 3) Enter Name, Password, and Check ON "Allow user to log in from Windows" 4) Look on your mac for Users - then the main user 5) Use the File – Get Info tool to set the Read/Write permissions on the "Public" folder found in the Main User folder.
