Ok I know this has been asked and answered countless times, but I just don't feel comfortable doing it without further information.

I added my Mac running 10.5.1 to the same workgroup as my PC, but I'm not really sure where to go from here to access files between the 2 computers. I've heard some people say something about the PC's IP address, if this is needed how would I go about finding it?

Several ways...

I usually hit the Start / Run... type "cmd" to get a command line and type "ipconfig".

Ok thanks I tried it with that IP address but i got the below error messages after waiting some time to connect...

The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again.

Error Code -36
