my sister just got a ibook and wants to transfer her old files ( mp3 pics and other files of that sort) to her mack. how do i set it up so the mac can view the windows network and snatch the files.

Loads of alternatives. Here are IDEAS that you can implement:

1. Use a USB Drive. You could even use a memory card with a usb card reader to transfer the files.

2. a) Share your Windows directory (where the mp3 etc files are) from Windows
---b) Connect to the shared directory from the MAC to download

3. I think the Media Server trick may also work... not sure though.
---a) Go to windows media player
---b) Select the folder where the files are
---c) Enable the Media server
---d) From the mac, search for media servers over the network. It should show up. You may be able to grab the media files from the server then.

I'm not sure about option 3. Perhaps someone can try it out and advise. I'm not at home, so I cannot try it out.
