I tried getting file sharing with XP working last week, playing 
around with Ubuntu Server. I think your best friend would be WebMin. 
You also need to install Samba if it isn't already. You will need to 
open the correct ports in iptables, 137-139 both TCP and UCP AIUI.

File sharing on this box now works fine for me. Printing is another matter.....
