Re: MacOSX and Vista file sharing

I just got a new USB flash drive and forgot to bring it home with me. I bet
you could use one of those.

Hi Jim,
tx for post. I'm connected via LAN - switch. I can go from Vista's machine
to my Win XP PC but not to Mac. Cannot work out what's wrong - what I'm
forgetting. (Sharing between WinXP and Mac without problem)
Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi,

I take it you are using Parallels?

Somewhere I read on the Parallels site that the current Update RC2 does not
support shared folders with Vista.

Hopefully this will change in future versions.

Meanwhile, to move files in and out of Vista I am using file transfer of AOL
Instant Messenger and MSN messenger. I have one account on the Mac side,
another for Windows and then move the files around the way I want to.

with my Mac, I can see and share my WIN XP but not Vista in either direction
(from Mac to Vista and from Vista to Mac)
