So i have a fileserver based off an old pb g4, it has 3 external usb hdds, and does what it needs too pretty well. All my computers run os x, and for the most part leopard, and sharing with those computers is very easy. But i have a new roommate now who has a pc, and i cant figure out how to share something besides my home folder with a PC. So if anyone knows how i can access my 3 usb hdds from the network with a PC i would be very grateful.
thanks
ian

Download a free app called SharePoints. Works like a charm!
