u will need a cross over cable.
then u will need to go in and click go on the mac,then connect to server.
the xp computer should be in there if not u will have to enter the ipv4 addy of the xp computer in samba or something else compatable.


click connect button.
then in authentication field enter the workgroup name (most workgroup names are named workgroup)
you will get to a mount screen,select the share u are wanting.
click ok.
if this doesnt work just means its only my 8th month in networking in college.
