This caused me a bit of grief for a while, but it works flawlessly now on Panther. Basically, in the finder go to the "Go" menu and select "Connect to Server". Find your server and connect to it. Once you've connected to it, it will show up in the left sidebar of any finder window. Click on the sidebar to open the window into your XP server. If you are not able to see the XP server when you go to connect to it..then try enterting "samba://<machinename>" where machinename is the name of your XP machine. If that doesn't work try "samba://<ipaddr> If that doesn't work then you may need to configure OSX with this one tool that I can't remember right now. But I'm pretty sure Panther works out of the box. Once you do all that, its pretty easy to drag the icon from the left sidebar in the finder window (after connecting) to your dock and then in the future you can simply click on the dock icon and it will both connect and open the window in one shot. -steve
