when testing out our machine for apache or SVN, i found that we can actually use

http://pc_name

when our computer is named "pc_name" and other PC on the same network can access that PC by that URL at port 80.

and a mac can connect to my PC shared resources by Finder -> Connect to Server -> smb://pc_name

these are great. are there similar things that are great but i just haven't found out?

http://pc_name works only, if a DNS server in the network is active that has assigned the name to the pc named "pc_name" or if the "hosts" file is modificated.

Maybe there are a lot things you haven't found out. Your question isn't specific enough for a good answer.

As Martin says: Your question isn't specific enough.
