Load and configure samba on your Linux box, and make sure your
WindoesN'T box has TCP/IP running. You should be able to talk
back and forth with little problem. Unless you are running
one of the latest samba versions, you will have a problem with
password authentication from NT to samba. There is a patch (a registry
hack) to make NT use clear passwords floating around.
