Unable (so far) to network Mac g5 (OS X) to PC (win98)

Hi, I've been networking my win98 pc's for two years with no
difficulty. I recently purchased a G5. From everything I read its an
easy task to network the G5. I've followed the rules, and I'm stuck.
The Mac is connected to a Linksys 4-port router. On the G5 I go to
finder/go/connect to server. There is nothing there to browse except
the the server at the Mac end. What's my next step?

Thanks,
Chris

I'm not a Mac user but I believe OSX comes with SAMBA. SAMBA will allow OSX
and windows to network, share files, browse...
If this does not work and you don't get an answer here, try asking on a Mac
newsgroup. There is nothing to set on the Win98 computer that is different
from your previous network settings. You must configure the Mac to allow
connection.
