Trying to set up a LAN system with easy access to a central server from all computers, chat, pm functions etc are a bonus. I miss having Haxial KDX, or Hotline, is there a successor to those two I can use? We have both mac and windows computers.

Set up Samba on OSX http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=222010

Then set up simple file sharing on the Windows box (which I assume will have all the media to share)

Simple file sharing = Samba on windows xp.

Once you have that set up, they can see each other and you can share/transfer files between the two. You can also throw linux into this if you want ;)
