yes you can

or from apple's support site:

(a little confusing, at least to me, but gives you the gist of smb)

i used to have a win98 laptop connected to my all mac network at home. i think i was using maclan on the pc which helped the pc connect to the macs through appletalk. good luck

Since I have an FTP server set up on my PC, I find PC <> Router <> iBook to be the easiest way to connect them.  It's also probably the fastest...

I think that's what i'll do, unless Dustin sells me his picturebook,  ;D but I guess I can still do that.

It nice to now that I don't have to buy a CD-Burner or DVD-Burner :)

No thanks, I don't have a ftp setup anyways so it might be just as easy to do that other way too.

Actually you don't even need the crossover cable, all portable macs have switching ethernet ports.

I've found it much faster to go through a router, though...  I have no idea why.

Even my Pismo? This is news to me ...

I find that I'm about 3x faster w/ cable than w/ router.

Well maybe not your ancient Pismo.  But all Dual USB iBooks and TiBooks and later do.  ;)
