General Home Network Issues

I have a PC that I use for business, and a couple of macs (a mini and a macbook) that I use for more entertaining things. Both of the macs run on the wireless broadcast from my router. The PC, meanwhile, uses an ethernet cord. All of my audio files are on my macs, and I'd like to be able to use iTunes' library sharing feature to listen to music on my PC via the music on my macs. It would be something of a pain to move a library as large as mine to my PC (I've done it a couple of times, and this is a fresh formatting on my PC). Does anyone know anything about the networking between all of these computers? Thanks for your time!

If the network IP's are similar...

192.168.1.x as an example

It should just work providing there is no software firewall blocking iTunes music sharing.
