file sharing

I have a problem at the file sharing between the Mandrake and the win XP that Winxp files can be shared at Mandrake but fMandrake files can't be shared at xp since the workgraups od linux at XP doesn't appear so how I can mange these even I can acces at the linux server throut its IP address at the lan..

Note: I am using Mandrake 10.1 grapically interface with SMB4

Thanks

Samba is a nice way of sharing files between systems ...

mount -t smbfs -o username=adminondomain //compname/drive$ /mount/point

this of course after you've got samba configured and running correctly.
