Sharing on a MAC

[Baphomet]

I have an iMac running Leopard that I have connected to my home network. My home network is a Windows network and I am relatively new to the world of MAC.

Everything works perfectly between the MAC and the other computers, but I am having trouble with sharing. My MAC has a folder called PUBLIC and in that folder is a folder called DROP BOX. In addition to DROP BOX I created another folder called DOWNLOADS and enabled sharing on it giving read/write permissions to all users. Everything in the PUBLIC folder works perfectly across the entire network without any issues.

I decided I wanted to make the music folder for my iTunes music available on the network as well ... so I enabled sharing for the folder and in the SETTINGS / SHARING section I included the folder in the list of shared resources. I also enabled read/write for all users. However, the only folders visible on the network are the ones in the PUBLIC folder.

Am I doing something wrong, or is it only possible to share folders from the PUBLIC folder on a Windows network?

I would post this on a Mac support site, not here. I am not sure if itunes will let you share music folders with others, copyright!

Hi, just drag the iTunes folder from User\music\iTunes into your dropbox: User\public\DropBox\and then iTunes, that it.
Hope this helps.
Oh sh*t missed this one, 4 weeks ago, hehe, maybe you´ve solved your problem, anyway.

Thanks guys. The path to my music is as thus: MUSIC/ITUNES/ITUNES MUSIC.

I was not able to share /ITUNES MUSIC folder and was never able to figure out why. However, I was able to share the root folder, MUSIC, and can access everything from there. It works perfectly.

Thanks again for helping. I have only been using a Mac at home for a few months now. I absolutely love it. I am thinking of getting an air book as soon as I can afford it.
