I am assuming you have samba set up... and you are using the gui else
you would need to edit the smb.conf file. Also I am assuming all you
want to do is file and print..
1. Make sure you a they are both in the same workgroup..(on the of nic
would be on the same switch as your windows box they should be on the
same IP block e.g. 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 for linux and windows
respectivity)
2. Set up users that would be logging on to the linux
3. If you require to share the Internet you would require squid which
is proxy and cache server..under /etc/squid/squid.conf
You might have to do some reading....
need to assign the network name to the laptop too. I can network Win
boxes together, but don't have a PHD in networking... :) I have two nics
in the laptop and would like to keep one set up for the internet and one
for a lan.

Its just me here... My aunt has old family photos (1897+); I packed up
the laptop and scanner and went through the first batch Friday. I have
one of the Windows boxes set up as storage only and would like to have
the photos in a more 'secure' (meaning its easier to swipe the laptop
than the box) place. Being able to access the printer would be a bonus.
Sidenote- my aunt/uncle are in their 60's/70's; having me scan the
photos was quite a kick for them... They finally got a dvd player for
the tv, but haven't figured out how it works- scanning the photos into
the laptop was like rocket science. I was -very- impressed with the
scanner prog I was using; I've been working with Windows for 7-8 years
and the HP scanner program I've been using is -total- junk. I'm glad
I've been installing Fedora (and other builds) onto the boxes here...
I've been seeing how lame Windows really is.
