    With the windows computers you should just be able to run the Network setup wizard. Then you select which folders to share. Make sure you turn on file and printer sharing when you setup your network.

    I don't know how it will work with the Mac.

    Well... Make sure they are all on the same workgroup, then you have to make sure that your firewall doesnt block the shared folders when you try to access them. Zonealarm is a pain!
