Can all devices at least reach the internet?

Is this specific to the Mac or can any 2 devices not see each other through 
those same 2 connections?

Can the PC see the Mac resource but just not in reverse?

Are those 2 connections possibly on separate LANs for some reason?

Or perhaps more likely, is the Rogers modem setup in pass-thru mode such that 
each of the PC and Mac directly receives a public IP address rather than a LAN one?

For each of the PC and Mac, what does its own network settings say its IP 
address is?  Do you get a LAN-like IP or a public-like IP?

Is each device using DHCP to get an IP address from the router/etc or did you 
set it up as static?

What if any of them connect via wifi instead?

Can any other device see the PC resource?
