We use a piece of software called DAVE (v2.0) which works very well. 
Installs on the Mac and allows PC's running W95/98/NT to access HD's,
printers, etc.  Unfortunately, you have to pay for the privilege (about
$150), but there may be shareware out there taht will do much the same. 
Check out:

for more info on Dave.

Purchase a copy of a program called PC MacLAN remote.  It is from Miramar
Systems (http://www.miramarsys.com/).

It allows you to file share on the PC and also see the Mac network, Mac
printers etc etc etc

Hope this helps,

Grant

Two ways to go:
- DAVE 2 (from Thursby Systems) allows a Macintosh to 'join' a Win9x/NT
"Network Neighborhood" that is TCP/IP based as opposed to the more
common NetBEUI
- PC MacLAN allows a Win9x/NT machine to view and mount AppleShare
(AFP-compliant) volumes over most network topologies (shared ethernet
being the most common).

If you want to have a Mac drive accessible to many people, go DAVE. If
you want only one or two Windows users to access the Mac volume, go
MacLAN.

I use MacLAN and am very pleased with it. Heard good reports of DAVE too
if you'd rather do Windows-style networking.

Both MacLAN and DAVE are available locally, through Conexus and Isoma
respectively.
