Accessing my Mac from Windows XP

Comment:
I am new to Mac since I recently bought an iBook 800Mhz G3. I already have a 1.6Ghz Windows XP machine and my daughter has a 800Mhz Windows ME machine which are networked together. I am wireless between the iBook and the network and have been able to share the internet AND get to both windows machines from my iBook. The problem I am having is getting to my iBook from either Windows machine. If I try to "map a network" drive in Windows, it prompts me for a password. I have tried the password on my iBook user account but an error message says, not a recognized password. All I want is to get to my iBook from Windows. PS. I do have windows share "activated" on my iBook

Hey,
Make sure that the user name that it asks for is your "short name" on the mac. You must use the short name. You can find that by going to the accounts pref pane, in system prefs on the mac. Hope this helps.

I tried that but it still prompts me for the password. I tried the password I use to log into the mac but still nothing.
