If you're already using samba this may help.

You may also wish to look into nfs.

good luck.

um no idea what you mean but
file:/etc/fstab

add a samba mount to the above file eg
//server/share /home/carl0ski/server/share smbfs username='Administrator', password='password' 0 0

probaly make a user account on your linux machine to replace administrator

server can be IP or computer Name
i like using IP's because windows is inconsistant with case of names sometimes Caps and sometimes not
