HI I want to share files from my pc and my mac. I have a router that splits my cable connection to the internet to both of them.
I use win xp pro and mac osx 10.1. I have a 80 gig external hd on my max plugged in firewire. so I guess if I could share that drive i'd be ok.
So if uguys know any web ressource or even better know how to do this please tell me.

you need OS 10.2
the it works over samba
protocol.

I use PC MACLAN. It's a bit slow, but it does the job.

From the Mac side, you won't need any extra software on 10.2 ... but you probably need to switch on Windows File Sharing in addition to Personal File Sharing in Preferences > Sharing
The router should be setup as firewall and DHCP server to the Mac and PC, but that's usually automatic..

pop open 'connect to server' under the go menu ,
type in
'smb://computername/sharename'
use login and pass that you use to login to windows on your pc.
works for me in 10.1.5
