Hi Stefan!

You're referring to deleting and recreating a "share", which is a
Windows share point. Have you created a Mac "volume"? This is the Mac
equivalent of a Windows share but is not the same thing. You'll do this
by opening Computer Management from the Administrative Tools folder and
right-clicking the "Shares" folder to create a "share" for Windows as
well as a "volume" for Macs.

Hope this helps! bill
