Tank Girl is on a distinguished road
Mac Specs: iMAC: 24", 3.06 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 1TB HD
Home Network iMac and Windows PC

My apologies if a solution has been posted elsewhere; I've searched but to no avail.

My problem:
I would like to create a home network between an iMAC running OSX Leopard with a PC running Vista (ack!) using a wired DLink router. At the moment we are sharing our internet using the router, but I would like to be able to share a printer and some folders using a home network.

(I switched routers from a wireless LinkSys, not a fan of their service, and noticed our connection speed seemed slower as well)

I have no idea on how to start, so if anyone can help or point me in the direction of a simple tutorial...much appreciated!
