Actually, you don't need PC MacLan.

Just turn on Samba (Windows Sharing), this should get you rid of the issue.

And of course, PC MacLan is basically AppleTalk for the PC, so that's why you have to turn it on.

Uh.. right. I assume it also removes any form of ponctuation in your sentences? ;P

Anyways, yes, just enable Windows Sharing, it should work from there.
