As long as the Apple is set to share files and printers, as well as folders, there should be no problem. You should be using NETBEUI for the network, and as long as it's got it's own machine name, there should be no problems.

There's also a product called

pcMacLan which will allow IP connectivity. The problem with NetBeui is it's not routed, so if this network goes across any kind of router or anything you'll have to be using TCP/IP instead. Also, just a sidenote, IP will encapsulate NetBeui (I believe). As always, I hope that helped!
