Even if FAT32 can help, large hard-disks are likely formatted in NTFS or HFS+ but they are not "interoperable" or "cross-plaftform". There are some open source and commercial programs for bypassing the problem, like MacDrive, MacFuse or NTFS for Mac OSX.

The ethernet is automatically configured with a standard ethernet cable. You can also use a Firewire cable as Windows supports Firewire. You can also just drag your documents from one computer to the other via your network LAN or WAN, wired or wireless. Finally, you always e-mail the files to yourself. Enjoy your Mac. I switched to Apple 7 years ago and can't believe i suffered through Windows for so long. I started out on computers with my Dad's company IBM mainframe in the 1960's.
