    I have some movies on a mac (Mac OS X, HFS+) on my network that I would like to play from the Aspire.
    How can I access the files?

    edit:
    I solved it this way: Turned on "Windows Sharing" on the mac.
    Then on the Aspire, click on "My Files", create a new folder, the popular name seems to be "NetFolder".
    Right click and chose "Open terninal here" (you should not be inside the new folder, I made that mistake at first)
    In the terminal type: sudo mount -t cifs //ipaddressofthemac/filesharename NetFolder -o user=******,password=******
    The "ipaddressofthemac/filesharename" is found in the system preferences of the mac when you set up the Windows Sharing.
    It says something like "Windows users can access your computer at...."
    And last: in the terminal, "sudo Thunar".
    Open the "NetFolder" and the files from the mac appears.
