Having Trouble setting up network

I have a new Time Capsule and I am a network newbie. Also new to apple. I have my macbook pro communicating well and backing up and file sharing. That was not bad. Now I would like to setup my pc (that is were the trouble comes in). I need a step by step. Can someone help me. Everything I've done has not worked.
Thank You! 🙂

Mac book pro and pc w/xp, Mac OS X (10.5.2)

Hello 1needhelp. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!

Although not specifically for the Time Capsule (TC), check out the following iFelix article to see if it will help: Accessing a Airport Network with a Windows XP PC or laptop (with XP SP2)

I should have mentioned it is connected directly into the TC with a cable (sorry, I don't know what that is called) I have Internet connection I just can't get the file sharing thing to work. If I can get it on this machine I have another in a different room. Thank you for your help. 🙂

On the PC just be sure to install the software that came with the TC. This will also install Bonjour for Windows which will be need to be able to "see" the TC's hard drive.

I've got bonjour installed. I can see the TC in my computer but it does not show the files that are stored on it from my mac nor if I save a file from my pc can my mac see it. This is very confusing. Sorry I'm such a blonde when it comes to networking.
