Assuming the macs are running OSX, they can run samba, which should be installed, but may need setup.

Historicaly, Macs have used Applealk for file sharing, and TCP/IP for internet access. Windows used NetBIOS/NetBUEI/SMB/CIFS for file sharing and TCP/IP for internet access.

With OS9 Macs started using TCP/IP for both, and in OSX they can emulate SMB/CIFS
