Jon,
I too happened upon the link you provided but it’s a bit long in the tooth, (as am I). Still, any port in a storm (or in a flagon).
Alternaut,
My problem stems from the most recent updater to MS Office 2008. In that is an app called Document Connection. And therein is the capability to connect to either a MS site “Office Live Workspace†or a “SharePoint†site. But the SharePoint site is greyed out, ergo I can’t connect to anyone who is hosting/sharing via SharePoint.
From the reference you suggested, I concluded that I may need to install the SharePoint application. I dunno.
While all help is appreciated, I hope someone with actual experience connecting SharePoint to Macs & PCs rises to the occasion.
