sharing files

[promus1899]

I am running Tiger on a G4 Silver. My wife uses a Dell laptop running Windows XP. My Mac has an Airport Express and we are using an Actiontec wireless router from Verizon for our DSL connection. Is there a way to utilize this setup so that the laptop can share files from my Mac? I am considering buying a LaCie NAS but wonder if that is necessary.

yes, she should be able to see files on your Mac. Go into System Preferences>Sharing and turn on Windows Sharing. It'll let her connect via SMB

We have a lovely guide on how to set up networking and file sharing between Windows and Mac machines.
