Dear all,

Attached is a screen shot from my G5 showing my 20" iMac as a shared
computer. I'm curious to know what the 20-imac icon is for. It always
shows up and there doesn't seem to be much point.

If you have a shared windows machine, the icon is the BSOD!

Check your System Prefs > Sharing > options, look to see if Windows
File sharing is on.

My guess is that the speech marks in the Mac's name are illegal for
SMB sharing (or something else) so it removes them giving you 2 names.
If you select it it should highlight the services available, in case
it is another service that is removing the " from 20"mac.

It's just the windows shares on the G5.
