Sure, though there are others on the list who know more than me... (I'm
posting it back to the list; I don't mind getting personal mails as a
result of list threads, but in general it makes more sense to ask the
list as a whole, unless the question's specifically about pigeons :-) )

Sure, just set up a samba server on whichever box is running Linux.
There's no need for the server to be a dedicated machine.

Oh dear. I can't remember what I did on the Windoze end, and the HD
with Windoze on is currently buggered, so I can't look. (And it's 98,
not 2k, so probably different...)
Basically I fiddled about with the networking settings, stuck the
server's name and IP in a couple of likely-looking places and rebooted
a lot. It was a bit of a slow process because of the rebooting, but
not a difficult bit of experimentation. Oh, I think I had to
install/activate/something NetBEUI / Microsoft Networking, the Windoze
installation having originally been as minimal as possible.
One trick I found useful is the ability to change settings on the
samba server from the windoze box by pointing Internet Exploder at
