Networking a Mac and PC to share audio files Options

Is there an easy way to share files between a Mac and a PC. I picked up a Hub, but I can't figure out how to set up file sharing between the two. I basically want to be able to do production on the Mac and burn the final product on the PC as well as sample on the PC and transfer to the Mac for production. Right now I am using a free internet file storage site, my cd burner, and a 128mb smart media reader/writer to do the swapping. I would much rather drag and drop.

Thank,
Rick

If you have your PC properly setup with an ethernet network card
TCP/IP-protocol and a workgroup or domain defined!

Right-klick a folder on your PC & choose properties,klick the Share-tab and share the folder to some proper user - (yourself) - & name it.

Simply connect your Mac to the same TCP/IP-segment but use different ip-number.
Press CMD-K in Mac OS-X and enter the following info

\\PC-IP-number\shared-folder-name
Hit return
You should get the log-on dialog
Enter:
Your-Username
Your-Passwd
Your-Workgroup/Your-Domain

Hit enter! Thats it!

The trick here is set up the TCP/IP segment properly.
If you have only one IP-number from your ISP-Provider, you will probaly
have to buy a router, that is capable of:
A) accepting the ip-number provided by your ISP-provider
(external computers on the internet will see this)
B) Give out 2 ip-number to your internal segment
( most likely from the private segment-range 192.168.xxx.xxx)
In this case both your Mac and PC can be configured to use DHCP
to catch the ip-numbers given out by the router.

If you have gotten 2 ip-numbers from your ISP-provider, but have only one
networking socket in your condo, you will get by with a hub.

I OS-9 you must keep passwd:s down to 8-chars of length.
And things will be much simpler if you run Win2K-server as OS on your PC.
And install SFM--services in the win2k environment.
