The exact steps vary depending on which OSX you're running. On 10.5 you
need to go into the sharing Preferences, turn on File Sharing, go into
Options and turn on Share files and folders using SMB (that's the
Windows file sharing). Below that will be all the accounts on your
computer with checkboxes and you'll need to enable which accounts you
want to allow windows filesharing on.
Once that is done you can go to your PC and do the usual Map Network
Drive. The connect string will be
\\your_mac's_address\your_mac_login_shortname
so for my machine it's IP address is 10.66.187.15 (which is an internal
IP address by the way) and my shortname is cblouch so I just map a
network drive to
\\10.66.187.15\cblouch
I then choose 'Connect using a different user name' and use cblouch and
my Mac's password and then hit the Finish button.
After that your Mac user folder should be accessible as a drive letter
on your Windows box. It's a handy way to share files back and forth.

It should all work the same as a wired network. You might have an
easier time sharing your Mac drive and mounting it on the PC rather
than the other way around, but it doesn't matter. The Mac can also
mount SMB (Windows File Sharing protocol) network drives just fine.
Between macs iTunes can actually share your iTunes library and listen
to it on another machine on the same network. I believe at least
Windows iTunes can listen to Mac iTunes shares but I haven't tried it
the other way around.
