Hi, ive just come for 9.2 to OSX and am having a little trouble getting it connected to my pc. Unlike 9.2 there isent a chooser as such. Ive established a internet connection but need my mac to talk to my pc. Can anyone help me out here.
P.S The pc can recognise my mac but my mac cant recognise the pc. on the pc it shows only one folder , Drop box. I cant put anything into this folder as well.
Thanks for those that help.

I was actually wondering the same thing too. I'm thinking of buying a network card for my PC and networking my iMac and PC together (when I get my iMac sometime in the next week). Is there any way you can get a Mac to use the PC's Internet connection or vice-versa?
 
there is many ways to do this.

go to system preferences, sharing, and just click the windows file sharing box. then on your windows machine, type the //ip.of.your.mac/NAMEofmac and thats it... easy to see your windows machine, from the finder, go to the go menu and click connect to server...
type: smb\\widowsMachineName

aslo for more securtiy and FULL access, just ftp in to yur mac from windows
(click the ftp button)
and in explorer, type ftp://yourlogonName:password@ip.of.your.mac
