What is the specific problem?

Do the Mac users not appear online on the Windows machines and vice versa,
or is it that they appear online but you can't initiate a conversation?

If they are actually on the same subnet (note that this part is important -
"network" may mean something different depending on how you use the word),
and there are no firewalls interfering, it should just work - there isn't
anything platform-specific going on.
