Try
http://www.samba.org/ for all the info you need to get UNIX and Windows to share files. The following extract is from the samba readme file:

WHAT CAN SAMBA DO?
==================
Here is a very short list of what samba includes, and what it does. For many networks this can be simply summarised by "Samba provides a complete replacement for Windows NT, Warp, NFS or Netware servers."
- a SMB server, to provide Windows NT and LAN Manager-style file and print services to SMB clients such as Windows 95, Warp Server, smbfs and others.
- a NetBIOS (rfc1001/1002) nameserver, which amongst other things gives browsing support. Samba can be the master browser on your LAN if you wish.
- a ftp-like SMB client so you can access PC resources (disks and printers) from unix, Netware and other operating systems
- a tar extension to the client for backing up PCs
- limited command-line tool that supports some of the NT administrative functionality, which can be used on Samba, NT workstation and NT server.
For a much better overview have a look at the web site at
http://samba.org/samba, and browse the user survey.
Also, this is a great book on Samba, the same one I used to set up Samba on our network:<CENTER>

Most of the info from the book can be found at the Samba site (in fact, I think the entire book is on-line). I went ahead and got it and found it was well worth it and a great addition to the lib. However, I'm pretty sure most of the info and book can be found at the Samba web site.
