Adding a mac to WinXP Workgroup

[PT]

We have a group of four WinXP Pro computers sharing files and printers via a
MS workgroup. They're physically linked through a hardwired Ethernet hub.
We also have a Mac which is connected to the same hub. The Mac sees the
other four, but the four can't see the Mac.

Is there any obvious step which needs to be taken on either the Mac or the
Windows computers?

With the new versions of 0s X (tiger/panther) you can surf workgroups, and
your automatically set to workgroup called "workgroup"

Also, make sure you enable sharing on the OS X machine... It will
enable browsing to other SMB clients, but it won't act as one until
you enable it...
