Question is urgent -- I will be leaving town tomorrow with my Windows XP Pro laptop, and want to be able to access files that are on my home Macintosh workstation (OS X Leopard).
I'm assuming a VPN would be the safest way to do this, but I'm not sure where to start from there. I'm not very familiar with the specifics of OS X networking/sharing, especially when throwing Windows machines in the mix.
I'm familiar with Hamachi on the PC side and so I tried the OS X equivalent HamachiX, but could never get the Mac shares to show up on the PC. (I think there may be an issue with HamachiX and Leopard -- or maybe just user error).
If someone could illustrate instructions on how to accomplish remote sharing of files from a Mac to a PC, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
