Setting up a small home network

For now, I just have one xp box and a Linux mandrake box in my network.
The first thing that I noticed was that my xp box could not see the linux
machine. How do I resolve this?

The second issue is how do I configure Samba so that I can share files
between the two machines?

Because I am very new to this, it would be most helpful if I got some
directions with the newbie in mind.

Thank you very much for your help!
