XP Home connect to Mac OS X External Disk

Asked by petermagee in Apple Networking, Appletalk

Tags: xp, mac, connect, os, external

I have an XP Home computer which can see and connect to my iMac running 10.4.2.  I run the Map Network Drive tool and can see the computer which is called 'petermagee'.  However, I have a 200Gbyte drive attached to the iMac.  When I open the finder the External HD appears alongside the Macintosh HD, and petermagee appears as an icon below this in the sidebar.  When I Map Network Drive, all I can see is petermagee (with the comment 'users home files')  

How can I mount (map, connect, whatever) the external HD on the XP Home computer.

By the way, I have a laptop that is running XP Pro and I can't see it from that either.  I just need it to work from XP Home more than I do from XP Pro.  

Thanks,

Peter T. Magee
