I used Samba which is a pain to set up but gives you a TCP/IP link
between the two and the Amiga shows up under Network Neighbourhood on the
PC.  Personally, I just did it to see what it was like and wouldn;t
recommend it really unless you have an ethernet card in both machines, (I
used a null modem cable!).

The best way is probably using the NetworkPC package although there is
TwinExpress on Aminet too that you may try...
