Are you trying to export a file system on your FC to Windows? Or the
other way around--reading your Windows file system from your FC box?
If the latter, you want a mount point with type smbfs. I'm sorry, I can
no longer give you an example because I haven't used Windows in years.
The cli utility smbclient is your friend for figuring out how to connect
and access files on the Windows machine.
If you're exporting your FC then the above doesn't apply. I found swat
very helpful for configuring samba. You'll need to enable swat in
/etc/xinetd.d/swat before you access with your browser. Nice thing about
swat is the context specific help for the various options.
