make sure you have windows sharing ticked, and when it is highlighted it will show the address to use to access the files on the mac. It is in the format
\\computer name\mac user name\
Also make sure that on the mac, if you have the firewall on, then it allows windows file sharing.

It's wonderful when you know how isn't it
Many thanks Chris

As before thanks Chris, that works fine for XP (which is on my PC) but Vista is a totally different animal so I don't suppose you know what to do when I have to use Vista which is on my new laptop?
