It is possible to have Macs show up on Wintel like this, but remeber that you will send all your passwords plaintext from now on. >-(
Yeah, Directory Access thing worked fine for me. The tricky thing I had was setting up the Samba shares so I could use guest access with Read-Only priviledges like I do on the Mac share side. SharePoints does this now no problem but originally it didn't and it took awhile for me to make the mental connect between share priviledges and directory priviledges as Windows does and, of course, item priviledges like UNIX does.
I don't understand how sending passwords in plain text would make a machien identify other machines on the network but, then again, there are a lot of things about Windows and especially Windows networking that doesn't make any sense.
Dude. If you're trying to get Windows to see Linux boxes, there's an easier way.
Get an scp client (I recommend the putty one, try a google search for putty ssh). Then scp the appropriate .reg file from /usr/share/doc/samba- on the Linux box to somewhere on your windows box, then double click on it in windows.
It does the same thing, and for newer windows versions, there are a couple of other fixes as well.
I'm guessing this works because OS X uses samba as well.
BTW, if you don't have a Linux box handy.. Get one.
Just joking. Check this: http://samba.planetmirror.com/samba/ftp/docs/Registry/ (that's an Aussie mirror, btw). It has all the files, and you don't even have to install samba anywhere.
I'm not sure why Apple didn't include these files, but there ya go. Yet another weirdness in the Apple versions of OS software.
have fun.
For non-technical users, WinSCP is great (http://winscp.net/eng/index.php).
It's an GUI scp client for windows that looks like a windows explorer, with folder trees, drag and drop copy, etc. Windows users get it right away.
This is likely too much trouble for machines with dynamic IP addresses, but this trick worked like a charm for us.
On the Windows XP box, select Start>Run and then type in the IP address of the Mac to which you want to connect, like below:
192.168.0.12
It will ask for your user name and password. You should probably use your short login name (like 'psmith' instead of 'Peter Smith'). It should bring up a list of the shares to which you have access.
Take that, Windows networking!
