Thank you very much! Well, I have verified the IP address of my windows machine, but my mac is unable to connect. I have a feeling there is something I need to setup on the windows side to correct this. Guess I will need to do some research into what exactly to change. But this does sound like a much more economical approach to accomplishing my task. :-)
