Okay.....I'll take a stab.

I assume that both computers are able to access the Internet at the same time. So, the only problem would be linking the two PCs together, right?

I did some researching (I know very little of the Mac world)
Here's what I found....

1- It is more likely your brain will implode before you ever get a viable network between PC and Mac without software.

2- If you enjoy using your brain, I found a cheap piece of software that will do all the configuration and allow you to transfer files.

If your desperate for printer sharing Miramar Systems makes a program called PC MACLAN. It's fancy; it does all the work for you; and it runs about $150.

I can't vouch for wormhole, but PC MACLAN works great. It's used at the University where I intern and they assure me it's stellar

I'm sorry I can't help out more with your problem, but maybe a big Mac head will see this and enlighten us all.

Good Luck
