I never had luck with using native filesharing.  The best way I worked
it out when I did was to run an FTP server on the mac and do FTP file
transferring.  That always worked and didn't pull workgroups, MS
Filesharing, SMB, etc into the mix.  I used to run Anarchy on the Mac
since it was free/cheap and a great web/ftp server all rolled into
one.
