There are three RPMS to do with samba

samba-common
samba-client
samba-server

To share with Windows mahines you need samba-common and samba-server
To mount remote shares on Win machine you need samba-client as well.

Use software manager in Mandrake Conrrol Centre to install the RPMS.

You are not finished then. It is still necessary to configure Samba to set 
WorkGroup name, and to define Samba passwords (they are different to Linux 
passwords)

This will help you out :-
