OK, I have this set up and have each computers set up with Windows /Microsoft file sharing on and they can see each other, but I can't log in to either computer. I get the log-in querry from both sides, but when I put in a password it says it's invalid.

I really have no idea what the problem is. It is identifying the names of the PC/MAC properly (took me a long time to get this working) and now at least I'm getting the log-in querries from both sides, so I know I must be close.

Oh, this is wired.

I took a look but I'm not sure what I should be looking for. I set up a DMZ but that didn't seem to help either.

Allow user to log in from Windows from system preference and setup the password. (you will see the box prompts!) Make sure share the folder from windows and reboot the PC.
Exactly the same 'workgroup' name is important for your OS 10.x!! (double check!) Check your location from network as well. Post more infos.
