    Mac networking Menzies

    Yesterday I was at a friends house, he has a new shiny MacBook Pro runninng 10.6.2 - that's Snow Leopard right?

    Anyway, I couldn't access other computers (running XP) that are on the same network. I want to get into their shared folders.


    So I went to Sys Prefs, Networking, and filled the workgroup field on WINS tab.

    Then I wanted to check the "Directory Acess" app under Utilities (this needs to be configured afaik) but I can't find it! Why it isn't there I have no idea :(
