Here's the scenario - I have shared mac folders by going into the Get Info of the folder and giving it appropriate access to be shared on the network. Then I tried to use the terminal edit to share this additional folder to my PC. It shows up on my PC (I think, it's got a long name .... SMC...) but when I try to get into the folder from the PC it tells me I don't have appropriate rights - and doesn't give me the ability to enter in a name and password. I am green with mac so help me here - the folder I want to share is on a different volume - than where my users folders are located. Does that make a difference? I tried to label it \\volumename\foldername but to no avail. Please help!!

  It's Windows XP -
  
  Update - more description:
  
  There are 3 volumes on this mac: OS 10, OS 9, and Projects.
  
  I can successfully share folders on the OS 10 volume. I want to share the Projects volume - with everything in it. Is there a way to use the unix tweaking in this article to point the shares to the Projects volume? I have the projects volume shared on the network with all privleges on but still can't figure out how to make the windows pc see it.
  
  Thanks....
  
  ps- can you describe what a volume is?
