this can be done with samba (to make windows see your linux filesystem) and smbmount (to mount the windows shares)

to mount a windows share once do
Code:

smbmount //<windows_box>/<share> /<mountpoint -o username=xxx,password=yyy,uid=<your_user>,gid=<your_group>

I do not have a fstab entry at hand at the moment, but you can search for that in the forum
