Question How to Mount a Unix share drive on Windows

We are trying to mount a Unix share drive on a Windows 2003 server to avoid transfering files accross the network using sftp. I can see shared drives on the Solaris server using the "share" command. How can I mount the drives on my Windows server so that I can read them directly. Do I need anything installed in Windows to do this? Unix services for Windows? I would like to see the details steps involved if possible. Commands ..etc. Please help us out.
