7.10 gutsy and I was trying to share files between the two.
I have installed the file sharing drivers/files (i.e. Samba)

Samba implements CIFS, which is used by Windows. For MacOS X
you want to have an Apple-Talk server.

No; OSX does CIFS as well.

Yes it does, as OS X ships with Samba. However installing
Netatalk is IMHO the better solution. A few weeks ago I
installed a 4TiB NAS system at a photographer.

By using Netatalk and Avahi its use is completely hassle free.
Connect the Server to the network, let it fetch an IP and wait a
few seconds for Avahi to announce it. On all connected Macs the
Volume appears in the Finder from where you can use it directly,
after you logged in.
