When you connect to the PC in finder you have to go smb://IP Address

you should make sure the pc is set up for networking, usually as soon as you plug an ethernet cable in, it should be active. You dont have a firewall installed on the pc do you? that blocks networking as i found out the other night when i brought my mac into work to retrieve so files from a pc, couldnt connect, so when i went to check the pc, noticed there was a firewall active so knocked it off and was able to connect.

You also have to make sure your Windows workgroup name and OSX host name are the same. This method will allow you to see the Windows network from the Network tab in Finder.

All I do is connect both computers to the router and share the desired folder in windows (under properties).
In Finder in the Mac, just double-click the computer's name and select the shared folder you want to mount. There you have it.
