Hi,

Out of necessity, I needed a PC in my office and need it to network it with my mac running Snow Leopard. Both computers are connect via Ethernet cable to the Airport Extreme hub.

Can anyone please provide some instructions on how to do it? This is driving me crazy!

Thanks!

If by "networking" you mean file sharing, then I can help. I'm not yet familiar with setting up file sharing in Windows 7, but this guide claims to work for 7. Once you have it configured correctly, your Windows computer will show up in the Finder sidebar in the SHARED section. As for OS X, simply open System Preferences and check the File Sharing box in the Sharing preference pane and then add the folders you want to share to the list. Any other settings are just as simple in Snow Leopard—just check their boxes in the Sharing pane—but you might have to look up a guide to set up other shares under Windows 7.

I am not sure what your needs are, but if you are looking for accessing the computer, I use remote desktop connection. Here.
