So far I had no results with "windows sharing" activated.
It worked for me out of the box on the Mac.
I created a new user named iliad to keep my stuff separated, but you don't have to.
I set up the Mac to allow Windows Filesharing, it asked for a password to authenticate windows users. I entered the same password as I use for the iLiad login account.

I figured out my Windows Workgroup (you can do it somewhere in the System Preferences, but it's easier for me to just enter "grep workgroup /etc/smb.conf" in the terminal. (without the quotation marks and potential linebraks) )

Then I entered the information in the iLiad. For the name of the computer I used the IP number of my Powerbook.
The sharename and username are iliad, this might be different for you if you don't set up a special account for the iliad.

Again: this worked on the first try.
