If you host on a PC, can the other PCs open via hosts but not the Mac?
Are you using DHCP server? Try having the Mac get its IP address from the
same address server as the PCs. It doesn't make sense, I think, for it to
have a static IP address if there's a server responsible for assigning IPs.
You don't mention whether the Mac can see printers or servers in the Chooser
dialog box.
