PC is connected to a 4 port Dynamode ADSL Router (I think a 205 - doesn't say) to get online. I'm trying to connect a G4 to the router via ethernet (no port on PC) to allow filesharing. When I plugged the cable into the Mac and started up iTunes, all my music was available to play on the G4, so something must be working, but I'm unsure how to set it up to simply move files. I've looked online and can't seem to find the specific info for the two OSs I run. If anyone could point me in the right direction for a how to, or could give me a bit of advice I would be very grateful.

Do a GOOGLE for PCMACLAN Software.
I am presuming the Router is acting as a simple DHCP server and assigning IP Adresses to the MAC & PC. If that is the case use simple FTP file transfer, XP has IIS built in which is the equivelant of Personal Web Server on earlier versions of Windows, details of IIS can be found by using HELP and SUPPORT on the START MENU
