Q: Networking with PowerPC G4, & PC running Windows 7 ?

I'm using 1.33 GHz PowerPC G4, OS10.5.8 & a PC running Windows 7

After the ethernet cables have connected the Network (workgroup)

I share some files (PC side) using the right click I choses properties and click the sharing tab and turn on the "Share this Folder"

I saw (briefely) in the Mac finder window something looking related to windows.

I,m seeing in the Mac's Networking Preferences that I need an address for the PC.

Maybe I'm making it hard.

Is there a way to see these computers & their shared files in the network, wirelessly?

Charter is my Internet Provider but any time I talk apple they put me on hold then connect me with somebody in Pakistan.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

    Hello 2bblues,

     

    Here is an article about connecting to Windows File Sharing named Mac OS X: How to connect to Windows File Sharing (SMB) found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1568.

    I feel it will help you transfer files between these 2 computers.

     

    Cheers,

    Sterling

    Thank You Sterling,

    The articles will get me to the Macintosh of my dreams.

    I keep looking at the Mac Air for my next up grade. But I'm a little hesitant.

    I am seriously looking forward to the future with anticipation and this is a wonderful day.

    The Mac support community, I am finding out is light sunshine.

    Some day, I don't doubt that the answers will arrive simultaneously.

    Words can't express the Joy I feel, having the imagination to ask and receive.

    Cosmically with Respect
