Connect 1 macbook(2 users) with 1 PC(1 user)

Question

Hi,
I have arranged a network between my PC (one user-administrator) and my Mac (2 users-one administrator and one standard), but I don't know how to access files of the standard Mac user from my PC. I can only see the Mac administrator's files.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

How I did it:
*on the mac*.
1. Open "macintosh HD" in the standard user account.
2. Open "Users".
3. Open home folder of the "standard user account".
4. Click on the folder you wish to become accesssible to windows sharing.
5. Hold down "options" and click "I".
6. In the "get info" window, click on "Ownership and Permissions".
7. Click on "Details".
8. Click on the padlock to unlock it. You may be asked for the adninistrator's username and password. Respond accordingly.
9. Click on the window besides "Group".
10. Click on the name of the home folder of the administrator user account to choose it.
11. Click on the window besides "Access" just below "Group".
12. Click on "Read & Write" to choose it.
13. Click on the padlock to lock it.
14. Close "get info" window.
15. Repeat steps 4-14 for any other folder you'd like to make it become accesssible to windows sharing.
*on the PC*.
1. Click "start".
2. Click "my network places".
3. Click "add a network place".
On the appearing window:
4. Click "next".
5. Click "choose another network location".
6. Click "next".
7. In "internet or network address" write\\IP of mac computer\username of administrator mac user.
8. Click "next".
9. You may be asked for the adninistrator's username and password. Respond accordingly.
10. Choose a name for the "network place folder" (I used "IP of mac computer\username of administrator mac user").
11. Click "finish".
In this way a network place for the administrator mac user is created. One should repeat these steps for each one of the other mac users. Remember to choose a different name for each mac user.
If nothing went wrong you will now be able to access the mac files from the PC!
I hope this helps.
