Easy way to set up home network

[matteusclement]

total newb stuff I am sure, but it's been two years since I set something like this up....

I have a household of Xp and OSX users and I am the Mac guy. I have a TB drive that has movies/music people would like to access.

What is the easiest thing to do so that they can only access those folders on the external drive? I have personal info on it that I'd rather not be sharing, so it has to be just those folders.

I would like to set this up WIRELESSLY

thanks

p.s- I use osx 10.5.5 they use xp w/ sp2

Go to

1. Finder

2. Applications.

3. General settings.

4. Three icons down and four to the right (sharing) Click this.

5. Put a check mark in the file sharing box (third one down).

6. Highlight File sharing.

7. Click + sign under shared folders.

8. Navigate to the one you want to share click add.

9. Highlight that folder now and in the right column set your permissions.

How is the TB drive connected to the network? Ethernet, wireless, direct via USB/Firewire, other?
