oh yea {OS X is trivial, OS 9.* with extra OEM software} :)
First, create identical user ids on both machines.
On the Mac, your Public::Drop Box will be available to the PC
...and any Shared Folders on the PC accessible by the Mac
Both systems need to allow access on the LAN ip address for ports 135,445

On the Mac, set a maching name via System Preferences-> Sharing
Under the Services Tab
check the Personal File Sharing and Windows Sharing boxes
The Firewall tab will adjust to what you just did,
and Under the Internet tab
Internet Sharing should be OFF. If ON, click the STOP button

From the Mac, use the GO menu to access Connect To Server
click Browse. You should see the PC name, which says you have the above correct.
Double Click the PC icon and you get a SMB Authentication dialog.
If you have the right user/pwd, you get a drop-down list of the PC shares,
choose one and click ok
