Mounting a linux drive in Windows


I'd like to know if it's possible to mount a linux drive (ext3) under Windows. Now to make this even more complicated, it's a networked drive, so it's not physically on the Windows computer.

Thanks!

that's not even more complicated, it's much much simpler. just comfigure samba on the linux server and connect like a normal network share. it's irrelvant what the physical filesystem is as it's remote so interfaced via network protocols not phsyical disk access.

Thanks, it was probably quite the noob question, but your answer fixed my problem!
