Question: Please Help Me! How can I access my PC files in my Mac though my Router Network?
I can access the files that are in my Macintosh on my PC, but I can’t do the oposite (access the files that are in my PC on my Macintosh). Please help me. I tried everything I found in the Internet someone please help me do this here. I believe this is all possible because I use a Router to divise my Internet connection for both computers (PC in the livin’ room and Mac in the bedroom.) if I can give them Internet connection that means we are linked in a network that I can also send files. But how? How can I set it up? Please help. Many thanks in advance.

unless you’re running a server operating system on your pc (windows 2000 server, 2003 server, etc), the only “easy” way i know of is to download and install a freeware or trial ftp server program for the pc. then you can ftp from the mac to the pc and download the files just like you would from the internet.
at least that’s how i had to do it… but i was doing it back in the days of mac os 7 and 8. i’m not sure if there’s something easier with X

If you’re feeling lucky, you can try using Samba on your MAC (OS-X only) and then remote mount the Windows shares on the MAC.
