If you've got a PC with Gig-E, that would save you a hassle.
I have been away from high end networking for a couple of years. There used to be problems with transferring files over 4 GB over networks between Mac and PC. Has it been solved?
The 32 GB partition size limit in WinXP is an arbitrary limit designed to push people to use NTFS. There are third party PC utilities that can format FAT32 drives up to 2 TB partition sizes (but with very large sector sizes that waste a lot space when storing small files). I have not tried any in a while because I need to make files larger than 4 GB for backups, but it used to be you could download them from every drive manufacturers web sites.
