share date between mac and pc's wirelessly?

[a7xnck]

my roommates and I have a Dell PC connected to a 2TB hardrive filled with music movies etc.. along with a wireless router, what kind of setup can I do so that my Windows 7 laptop and their mac book pros can all connect to the PC's external hardrive? the main use we want is to compile all of our laptops music onto the hardrive and be able to access them..


sidenote: we would like to have our xbox 360 and ps3 connect as well

Right click the folder you want shared on the Windows machine and click share (you can assign permissions if you want, as sharing with "Everyone" isn't a good idea... On the Mac the folder will either automatically appear in Finder under "Shared" or you might have to manually map it... If that's the case then press Command + K and then in the little drop down (Looks like a tiny earth) the Windows folder/machine should show up.
