networking & Panther

I just bought my first modern mac in many years. It is a G4 with Panther
on it. I have a networking question:
I have DSL here at the house. I have a external DSL modem that is plugged
into a 8 port Linksys hub/router/firewall. My other Macs and a PC running
XP Pro are on the network.
When I plugged the Panther box it, it configured it self and surfing and
email work just great on it.
Here is my issue:
I have a *HUGE* Quicktime file on my XP Pro box and I would like to go on
the network, and bring that file into my Panther box. I do not, and have
no reason to, move stuff from my Macs to the XP Pro box.
I checked the "help" in Panther under networking and any other words that I
thought would help, but I could not find any answers.
Could someone tell me how I can "see" my XP Pro box from my Panther box,
and how I can then bring the file from the XP Pro box into my Panther box?
I am assuming that I need to turn file sharing (and maybe print sharing?)
on in the XP box. I can probably figure out how to do that.
That is about as far as I have gotten.
Any help, or URL links to figure this out would be appreciated.

PS: Love Panther so far. But sure different than 9.22!
