I am unable to open smb address on any of my PC.
I have changed the workgroup.

Have you started the SMB File Sharing in
System Preferences -> Sharing -> File Sharing -> Options -> "Share files and folders using SMB (Windows)"
Additionally you have to activate at least one account for SMB Sharing.
Also try deactivating the FireWall (System Preferences -> Security -> Firewall).
Have you tried connecting from the PCs with "smb://<IP-address-from-Mac>"
Hi,
Thank you for your quick reply.
the SMB is checked.
Firewall is off
Tried connecting on my VAIO (WIN XP) with smb://192.168.2.3
I GET " The Webpage cannot be displayed"

Where did you tried that? Explorer on Windows? "smb://192.168.2.3" is the spelling on a Mac. On a Windows try using:
\\192.168.2.3\
or
Right click on "My Computer" -> Map Network Drive
As "Drive" you can select a free letter, and "Folder" type in "\\192.168.2.3\"
UNABLE TO SHARE FILES?
