It is indeed very easy to get osx networked to a pc (i'm running 
win2k but xp is no different in this regard). You just need to make 
sure that it (OSX) is running TCP/IP (from the networking doodad) and 
Bobs your near relative (i presume peer to peer is what you use, if 
you need help with client-server just ask). Click on 'home' in an osx 
window and you will see a network icon dble click and it should show 
you all computers within your workgroup (and give you an option for 
those not). It is advisable to create a seperate user for network 
access of your Mac, but, even if you don't you can create mapped 
drives on your PC to any point on your mac! (I tend to use the public 
folder as it is available whoever is logged on. Any difficulties just 
give me a mail and I'll step you through it!
