Ok, I just got an iMac about a month ago, but not being able to network it with my other PCs is driving me nuts! For one, I cannot print using my Mac, as my printer is hooked up to another PC, which shares the printer with my other PCs, but I cannot exchange files, which is really annoying. My Mac can see the PCs, but can't print, and my PCs can't see my Mac altogether. BTW, my Mac is connected via a wireless router, as are 2 of my laptops. I have 2 PCs, but they're hardwired to everything
Any suggestions would be appriciated.

For your info, you CAN transfer files between your Mac and your PC. Just go to the sharing section in the control panel of your mac, click on the pc sharing thing, and on your pc, type the ip address of your mac and voila, you can see your mac's files.

Or you can change the ip address is another way, like one computer 192.168.1.100 and the next one 192.168.1.101 and so forth.
