[G4] Wireless networking

Valerie,
 Odd. The only other thing I can think of off the top of my head is, if 
you know the IP of the windows XP machine, you can type it in like this: 
smb://x.x.x.x/sharename. Other then that, if you can see the mac shares 
from the PC, just drop them on the mac from the pc..
