You'll need to use "Client for Microsoft Networks" on the Windows
(NT/9X) side.  At least, that how I understand it to work for NT --
never actually done it.

If you want to be able to mount remote systems on your Linux machine,
you'll need to compile the SMB filesystem into the kernel or a module.
Otherwise, just your basic network support.
