Maybe I'm not reading your question right, because it seems too simple to me... So forgive me if I'm answering the wrong question here. Yes, of course you can export shares which can be seen by Windows. We have an official server here at the office which does this (we did away with the NT machines), and I also export a couple of share from my desktop computer for the benefit of my co-workers. You have to have smbd running. You have to configure it to export some directories (excuse me for not giving you the details - that's what the docs are for). And to access them, assuming you have no domain name whatsoever, you use your IP address, like so: \\198.162.44.44\sharename I think you can simply enter that in the Windows "run a command" (or something like that) dialog box, accessible from the start menu. It will probably ask you for a user and password. If you configured smb correctly, that will be it.
