You'll want to play with Samba on Linux. There are many docs and howtos on the net to learn, but I'll give you a few steps to get you started. I assume you have apt-get installed.
apt-get update apt-get install samba-swat /sbin/chkconfig --level 35 swat on /etc/init.d/xinetd restart then load up the browser, go to http://localhost:901 This page will help you do the following tasks: Configure the same (\\name) of the server. Configure some shares. Restart samba through the web interface or run /etc/init.d/smb restart Windows then should be able to browse the share you set up on linux. That should get you started.
