This is how Unix and Windows communicate.Its quite simple once you understand what is going on.Get it installed and take a look at the smb.conf file.The smb.conf file is how/where you configure samba.You will also have to implement a DNS or WINS server to have connectivity.Ive been working with this with RH 7.1 and Caldera.

Good Luck

Also look into setting up a proxy server if you want to share your Internet connection.
