Here you have two choices. You can install samba in your linux box and configure it correctly. "If you are in a LAN with a WINS server, do not forget including it in smb.conf." Your other choice will be setting up an NFS server on the specific windows computer "I use a program named DiskShare in windows which is trivial to setup, hence you can share folders using NFS." Then mount the NFS share on your linux box. This last option works if you have control over the windows machine you will be connecting to. Samba will be more general since you will be able to mount any share on your LAN, but performancewise, I think NFS will be better.
