Cool I have the same set up. Mac and PC work so cool together. How you do it is simple if you have the hard part out of the way which is sounds to me like you do. With both your computers networked together through LAN cables and through a Router with Internet connection. All you should have to do is right click on the hard-drives and or folders on your PC that you want to share and allow file sharing. Next go to your Mac, and find the PC files they should be located under networking in your HD if you are using Mac OSx. Look for the name of your PC and than it should ask you if you want to connect click yes and you are good to go.
Remember on Mac OSx (have Apple Talk active and file sharing active) Located in System Preferences in Mac OSx.
Still need help Call Apple Support they should talk you through it if you have there apple care plan.

For Mac, you have to install the Samba in your Mac OS, so the computer can share the hardrive with other PC computers. On the
PC side, it is simple that you can share the drive out by right click of the drive and choose share.
It works in both wireless and wired networking.
