You configure samba on the Linux box. Here's some more
information -

You have to configure samba on the Linux system. you can find the
conf-file in /etc/samba or(smb)/samba.conf

In addition to using Samba on the Linux machine, as mentioned by Alan
and Babu, for file and printer sharing (along with domain control if you
want) you can also connect to a Linux box to:

1. login via telnet (included with XP), or more securely with ssh
(using a 3rd party progam like PuTTY).
2. connect to mail servers (SMTP, POP, IMAP, etc.) on Linux
3. connect to db servers on Linux, e.g. ODBC on XP and MySQL, Oracle,
PostgreSQL, etc. on Linux
4. connect to web servers on Linux (like you do when you access Google).
5. etc. ...

What is it you want to do?

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

The linux server needs to be running samba. Samba is windows file system
emulation software for linux. If you have a system administrator for the
linux server, ask them if the server is running samba and is configured
properly. Otherwise if you are the admin for the linux server, do a google
search on samba. I just took a look at samba on my linux machine a few
weeks ago for the first time and I had it installed, configured and running
in just a few minutes. Good luck.

Windows XP crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.

Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.
