I don't think that's possible because of the Operating Sytems.

You may have to enable or install & enable the AppleTalk protocol through "My Network Places". Right Click the "Local Area Connection"/Properties hit Install choose AppleTalk.

This might be the issue with the Mac not connecting to the PC. But in order for the PC to connect to the Mac, you may have to purchase a program called PCMaclan, or similiar.
