Just got my XP box set up (finally) for web surfing and RB

on-line tutorials that cover networking from a Mac perspective?

I don't really care if the PC can see the Macs or not, but I need
the Macs to see the PC to be able to drop files from (either of) the
Macs onto the XP box after virus checking them.
If it helps, it's 10/100BT ethernet into a FriendlyNet 4-port
router, and hooked to my cable modem.
I usually just setup my Panther box to enable Windows Sharing, and then
make a network drive on the PC to that share point. It is the most
painless setup that I have done between Macs and PCs (and I have done a
lot).
I just access the Mac for the first time from the Windows box by typing
into an Internet Explorer bar:
\\192.168.1.1\MyUserName
Of course you need to put your Mac IP and your user name. Then it will
ask you for the password, and later on you can set it up as a Network
Drive.
