yes, on the Mac, go to sharing in system prefs, activate windows sharing and 
supply the account password for the account you want to allow to share with 
windows.  You should be able to map drives etc from windows and add pcs to 
the Mac side as well.

I started out with a linksys router and am now doing it with a netgear 
router.

O.k., the three pcs are connected to each other via a Linksis router and
MSHome networking. The Imac is connected wirelessly to the Internet via the
same Linksis router.
 My question is if it is possible to somehow add the Mac to the Windows
network for file sharing purposes.
If this is not possible is there some other interface which would let the
Mac see the PC files and folders.

Thanks,
Fred
