Hi Mike,
This is relatively easy to do. You will need an Ethernet network card in
the PC and a Category 5 Ethernet "crossover" cable.
Install the card in the PC, install the drivers as per the instructions that
came with the card, and Windows will automatically install file and printer
sharing services. Connect the crossover cable to the modular (RJ45) jack
on each machine.
On the Mac, you must use the Network system preferences control to enable
Windows file sharing.
Assign the Mac an IP address of 192.168.0.1 and the PC an address of 192.168.0.2.
Set the network (subnet) mask value to 255.255.0.0 on each machine.
Apple has instructions on how to do this on their web site and it can be
easily located.
Also, have you considered using an external storage device, such as a USB
flash drive or external hard drive, to move the files back and forth? This
may be much simpler and quicker if you're not into doing the network thing.
Hope this helps. Peace & happy holidays!
Mark

Hey Mike! On the Mac, go to help on the menu bar at the top and type in "networking"
or "networking a PC and a Mac". It should all be there, just scroll down
for the answers.

Mike, Martin's right about the Windoze netowrking Wizard... I
did this recently between two PC's & it took mere moments to get
the software set up. Well, mere minutes, anyway.
Make sure you get the right kind of cable to run between the
two 'puters, though! It's GOT to be labeled as a "Crossover
Cable". They're generally about 30 bucks for a ten or twelve
footer. BTW, if you haven't gotten a card for the PC yet, Best
Buy has them for $39 for the PCI cards - a little bit less than
I've seen them at other retailers.

The crossover cable may be important, but most modern NIC cards are auto
sensing so they'll work out what cable is being used and adjust
appropriately.

Thanks Neil and Martin.
The information is much appreciated. I'm going to try and get this done by
next weekend.
