Mediator & networking to XP Box (again!)

[PMC]

Following on from my post last week (thanks for the help guys), I've finally got my Mediatored A1200 and XP Athlon talking to each other over a patch cable :-D

However, I'm STILL stuck with trying to find a way to get the PC to view the Amiga's drives and/or to mount the PC's drives on the Amiga side.  As the Amiga Mediator site seems to be down, does anyone have any practical advice on how to do this?

Sorry if I'm being slow here but I've never done networking before and am rather new to it.... ;-)

Cheers guys.

I forgot to mention that I've installed Samba as per the instructions, and AFAIK it is started automatically when I initialise Miami?

Anyway, the XP box isn't set up as a firewall.  Neither machine is connected to the Net...

can you ping the Amiga from the PC ?

Yes!  

Last night I managed to sucessfully ping the Amiga from the PC via the usual ping command in DOS.  

I'll try adding the Amiga's IP addy and adding it as a network.  

Sorry for the really naive questions here guys, but I'm totally green at this!
