Unable to Access HD

[Jus S]

Honestly nothing seems to be working. I can't figure out what is causing the hold-up. My Objective: set up a network over the router that allows my Mac (OS 10.5.5) to talk to my PC (XP SP3). I have two hard drives (HD) for my PC, and one of them (old) works just fine--allows setting up of network, shares folders, etc. The other one (new) doesn't show up on the current network, can't establish a windows network that the Mac can see, and can't allow me to set up the Mac's IP as a network place even though I've set the Mac to filesharing via network or FTP. Due to this reason, I assume the PC is not broadcasting to the network, but that may not be the case. Both the PC and the Mac is getting internet service, and both computers can be seen through the router interface. Why won't the Mac and the PC (new HD) talk to each other?

Isn't this the same question as the one I have been answering already?

Again you're not mentioning what samba version your using. Without samba you cannot do network sharing with windows. I'm a bit surprised ftp doesn't work. Is your firewall blocking traffic?
