No WIndows File Sharing in Leopard?
Before upgrading to Leopard, all I had to do was tick on Windows File Sharing in Tiger and I was able to transfer files back-and-forth between my windows box and my MacBook.
Now, when I turn on File Sharing and add the ftp and SMB options to afp it doesn't work. I cannot see the Windows XP Pro box at all under Shares in Finder and it can't see the MacBook.
File Sharing is turned on on the XP box.
Anyone got any ideas?
Other than this issue, and Acrobat tanking, I am impressed with what I have seen so far.
Thanks for all help.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one caught out with this! Activate File Sharing, click Options and then tick Share Files Using SMB and then click the appropriate user account below.
Ah ha.

Thanks for that. It works as advertised.
Strangely enough I can see, but not open the PC's "Shared Documents" folder; although when I set other folders as shared they show up and work as expected. Very weird.
Cover Flow over the network is unbelievable! Incredible to be reading a Windows Word or Excel file on my Mac over the network without any MS apps installed on it.
Now, if Back to my Mac would work with PCs as well...Wow!
Weird that.
And if I try to connect to it through Finder it tells me that the connection failed. Airport Utility works (and seems to have been revamped with click throughs), so there is no problem, just a curiosity.
I wonder if this is something that would change if I had a drive plugged into it? I don't have a USB drive to try it out though.
Anyone else out there got any feedback on this?
