I run Windows ME on my PC and have gone to My Network Places and set it up as Mac Help told me to. I went through and put in a password, workgroup, compuer name and description. But after I clicked OK the computer restarted and I didn't get to do anything else Mac Help told me to do. Do I need to disable the Internet Connection Firewall to share between computers in the same network?

I have seen the computer (PC) on my network (on the Mac) before, but I could never access it.

When I would shut down the PC, it said that the Mac was connected to the PC and if I would continue to shut down, it would disconnect this computer. That's funny, the Mac said it couldn't access it.

I have turned on Windows File Sharing on the Mac. I'm trying to get my My Documents folder which has all my Word documents and homework.

I run an 802.11b network (D-Link DI614+ Rev. A) and even if there there is another way, I would like to know how to network a Mac and a PC for future reference so thanks for all your help If you need any information please feel free to ask.

well ok, i just went back to Network in finder and I see the computer as:
Finder->Network->MSHOME->GEORGESUN

GEORGESUN is a grey globe icon, same as the network.

I click it and SMB Mount pops up and asks me to SELECT A SHARE (D or MYDOCUMENTS), I pick MyDocuments and type in:
WORKGROUP: MSHOME
USERNAME: GEORGESUN
PASSWORD: ******
and I connected. actually I didn't know I connected and tried again, but I went back to finder and saw MYDOCUMENTS so I guess I did something right.

Win ME (a BAD compromise between Windows 98 functionality and NT security) won't do anything with a shared resource until after it restarts-usually it needs to fully reboot. Once it restarted, your ME machine was visible to the Finder via SMB, so it 'found' it.

Very smart, these Macs...

Yep. The Mac actually had to teach me how to setup the Windows computer :shrug:
