I had taken the iBook to work, and I had it on the network in no time with it seeing my Win2000 shares and the Windows machine seeing my printers and home folder. My home network was another story. I had managed to FTP into the iBook, but it would not see either PC and the PC would not see the iBook. I tried many things, including some superuser edits of the smb.conf file and some commands from osxhints.com, but nothing worked. There were countless "fixes" for getting Windows and Mac peer networking going, but it seemed that each person had a different problem. I finally found one that worked. In my Windows networking setup, I had purposefully not bound the TCP/IP protocol to the Windows sharing and the Microsoft Networks client thinking that might be a security risk, but it wasn't really with my firewall and router setup. Changing that made everything work fine.
