Greetings,
First off, you can't network Mac OS 9 and Windows out of the box without third party software. Mac OS X does allow Windows and Mac computers to connect and share files, printers, etc. without additional third party software, so you can either find, install, and configure third party software to connect your PC and Mac or follow the recommended course of action and upgrade your Mac OS to OSX Panther. :cheesy:
