    This doesn't seem to apply to Leopard. Any other ideas?

    Hi Rob Try this..

    I seem to be able to see my flatmates XP laptop by going into
    system preferences/Network choose wireless or Ethernet or both/ choose advanced then select the 'WINS' option - then add the workgroup to the workgroup field.

    the only Prob I have is that I cant seem to see my MAC on the XP Laptop?? I'm still quite new to OS X so I'm still learning the Basics...
