Try searching the information section at Apple.com. They document nearly everything you can do with the system. If you can't find there, surely there is a UNIX way of doing it by accessing the Terminal. Anyone out there know?

Mac OS X has SMB support. Go searching on an SMB tutorial and it will most likely work for you.

From what i read at apple.com, Jaguar will easily read, and mount a windows volume, it also tricks windows into seeing the mac as a windows machine so i can access it from windows. nice. I am going to wait until jaguar comes out to setup my network. Yeah, i went to alias/wavefront page and downloaded both the windows and mac os versions of the free educational Maya4. Im not sure how they will run, i have a dual athlon 1.2ghz w/1gig ddr and geforce3, and a 800mhzG4 with 256ram, and a geforce3. oh well, we'll see. They didnt have a linux version of maya4 though :(

_more mac questions_ kinda off subject....
I want to setup an ftp server, mostly so my girlfreind can grab my music & southpark files, but i have ran into a problem. Can i share an external harddrive, i have like 36gigs of music and media and i would hate to burn 45cds. I couldnt figure it out, and i dont want to burden my local drive with all thoses gigs. It would kinda defeat the purpose of the external drive. Thanks in advance.

Is the external drive a FireWire drive?

This probably won't work but set up your network manually (ie IP addresses 127.0.0.1 etc) make sure that the drive is shared by everyone then see if windows can see using telnet.exe, if it can then ftp will probably work (its already installed on your Apple)
I've never tried this so i don't know how well it will work
