Samba.  http://www.samba.org/.  O'Reilly publishes a book on Samba
(http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba/), which they also (very kindly)
provide freely on the Internet.

With Samba installed on Linux, you can provide SMB file sharing
services to your Windows clients.

Using smbmount (perhaps via mount -t smbfs), you can also mount shares
you create on your Windows machines on Linux.
