You say it is a samba share,
try this
mkdir /somewheretomount
mount -t smbfs //hostname/sharename /somewheretomount
enter password if any
ls /somewheretomount

what version of windows is giving you a problem with the user/password?
If it's 2000 you need to enable the guest account.
Samba is for what you are doing not nfs.
But you can get some programs for windows to do it, check out tucows or other search engines for windows nfs but you will probably not find one for free.
I would recomend using microsoft network since you already paid for it. Which of course is Samba and it's free.

no, my smb problem is linux-linux sharing, windows is, bizarrely enough working perfectly. and since smb is stuffed under linux, i thought i should have a go at using the real version.. nfs, but that won't take fat32 which sucks

Oh ok, sorry.
So what you really want to do is export the directory(s).
/etc/exports on the host and use mount on the client.
host
.../etc/exports
/share *.home(rw) #allows home domain only
..or use hostnames, or ip address of machine or network
exportfs -a -v
exporting :/share
client
mount host:/share /mnt/host
add to fstab for auto mount
host:/share /mountpoint nfs options 0 0
there are many options that can be used.
you can unmount by doing umount host:/share or umount /mountpoint.
see man exports and exportfs.
As far as fat32 or not I really have not tried it, let us know if it will work.
I don't have a fat32 drive on my system. I tried it with a floppy and it worked.

Thanks for trying, but the problem IS fat32. I've not my nfs ext2 shares working pertfectly, but nfs has a specific issue with fat32, due to the lame file system. I have 40 gigs of mp3's that MUST stay on fat32, and i want to access them through nfs. but i don't think it is possible

Yep sounds like you have tried everything, maybe you can use http if thats reasonable. Or even ftp.
