a linksys router but I don't see the need to use it. What all will I
need, SAMBA? XINE? please let me know if you have done this before. I
would really appreciate it!

The easiest is to use Samba and connect via the router.

Well, obvious the better way would be to reformat the Windows server to
SUSE and use NFS. :-D
