How do I connect a windows comp to linux comp?

I want to connect a windows machine to a linux machine, but the windows machine cannot see the linux box.

How can I get windows to see linux? (I tried samba server, but it doesn't open :()


(Sorry if this has been asked a gazzillion times...

I looked for a little while on these forums, but didn't find too much :()

Never mind...
I found some form of file sharing that works good enough for what I need... :)

It uses a web server, but it works for allowing remote computers to read files.




Thanks to any one that would have helped! :)
