I set up Samba so Windows can Access Linux, but how can I access my windows machine from linux (preferably using samba).?

Check out smbclient or smbmount on your linux box.

The way I access my windows shares from the linux box is as follows:

mount -t smbfs -o username=username,password=password //server/sharename /mount/mountpoint

But I've no idea how to access my l inux box from Windows, how do you do it?

It should appear in the network neighborhood.

How can I mount it on boot up? Can I Edit the fstab to achieve this?
