Q: How do I connect osx laptop to windows xp desktop?

Hi.

I would like to connect my macbook pro (running osx 10.6) to my desktop (running windows xp) for the purpose of sharing files between the two and also utilizing the wired internet connection of the desktop computer (no wireless).

Is this possible?

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Michael

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
