Okay, a list of available HOWTO's you can find at www.linuxdoc.org There you can easily search for HOWTO's regarding your Topic. To get a connection with Windows you can use Samba which is available as a package in debian. It provides file and printing services and some extras. I recommend to install on all the Boxes TCP/IP and to kick out the NetBeui /IPX-SPX protocols if you don't really need them.
