QFE!
You need to update that installation immediately. There are a ton of security problems that have reared their head since RH8, and you are vulnerable to every one of them right now. Download the latest distro (I like Mandriva myself) and load it. Not only will you be more secure, but you'll find that new things added to newer distros will make the task at hand easier to accomplish.
As far as the hows of doing what you want, I'd recommend that you look at SAMBA. Its very purpose is to cause windows networks to see a Linux box as another Windows machine. Also enabled Linux machines to utilize resources on Windows networks.
