Is there a web reference that would give me some tips on adding an iMAC G5 to a existing windows network?
This is my first hour on a MAC! I got to the internet okay, and I found where to change the WORKGROUP, share files and printers etc. I see the workgroup listed under Networks, but I cant see my windows pcs or printers beneath it. Similarly, on my windows pc's I cannot see the iMac.
I know I am close.
On windows, when I use a Run command with the IP address of the imac, it does connect to the iMac and it prompts me for a user name and password. I entered the same username and password that I used on the imac to make the above changes, but it did not take it. Perhaps I have the wrong syntax.
Anyway any suggesstions would be appreciated.
After working with Windows forever, I must say, the mac, even this four year old one, is really nice !!!.
