Turn on "Windows Filesharing" in the Sharing prefpane, then connect to your Mac from the Windows box.

By the way, MAC = media access code != Mac.

I imagine you go to a window with a URL field, and put in smb://your.mac's.ip. You're the guy with the Windows machine, not me

the address would probably be something like, \\192.168.0.102\yourmaccomputername

then, setup the network in windows control panel.

Beware of the bug where you turn Windows sharing off, it doesn't actually stop sharing until you reboot.
The correct way is as ^^^ wy4tt indicated.
