Wireless Network PC to MAC and Vice Versa

Please excuse my ignorance, i am in uncharted territory...networking...

i have hooked up a wireless router (Netgear). It is working great. My mac tower can see the three other PCs on the wireless network.

My problem is that they can not see my computer and i don't know how to fix it. Is it something on the mac side, or pc, or both.

Any help would be appreciated!

The Mac can see the PC's only if File Sharing is turned on, and the Firewall (if enabled) is set to allow file sharing.

Usually by enabling File Sharing, the appropriate Firewall ports are enabled.

What version of Windows is on your PC's? Vista or XP?

Also what OSX is on your Mac? 10.5 Leopard? 10.4 Tiger?

Windows XP

Mac 10.5 Leopard

mac and win communicate through a protocol called samba (hopefully, it's still true )

to connect to your computer, try:
smb://**IP or name**
(Go>server in Finder menu)
