I too have the exact same config. Doesn't the mac have an ethernet port? All I had to do was connect it using normal networking cable (dunno what its called) and transfer as I wanted. Only thing was that the windows PC didn't recognise the mac. But from the mac, I could dump and retrieve files to and from the windows hard disk.

Try it out. It detects almost without any trouble.

@goobi... u can creat a workgroup for windows to recognize mac...

go to Applications/Utilities/Directory Access.... there in SMB enter the name of the workgroup of ur windows network.

Now Go to System Preferences/Sharing and enable Windows and Personal File Sharing

from ur windoze pc... go to Start/Run and type //192.168.0.1/shortname

assuming 192.168.0.1 is the ip add of ur mac and shortname is ur account's short name...

for checking ur account's short name.. go to Sys Pref/Accounts.. and u'll get it there Wink

Funny nuff.. on a mac u just need to enter smb://192.168.0.x and ur there Razz

yah guys..... did teh same thing that time..... i can tell u that it was just outta instinct....
um.... goobi.... the cable is called an RJ-11 cable....
