What these guys said is correct but it is easier for a Samba newbie to just
install webmin
which is a web based interface for managing Linux.  It is easy to install
and easy to use.
If you want the Windoze machine to be seen by Linux put it in a workgroup
and share you 
drives.  Then in Linux gointo webmin and gotot services click on samba.
There you can tell 
Samba what workgroup it is a part of.  You can also create shares here in
Webmin which will 
allow Windows to see your Linux computer.  If you are just at home you might
want to force 
root group and user to make thing easier for you.  Not too much of a
security risk at home.  

Ok now you need to create samba users for your Windows machine.  Create a
Linux user with the 
same user name windows has.  You can do this command line or goto users and
groups in 
Redhat(Kde or Gnome)  After you do that go back to Samba in Webmin and there
is a button that 
will make Linux users Samba users.  Click that.  It will only make users in
groups above 500,
I think, users.  Which is good so root, appachee, etc don't become users.
There is also a button here that makes Samba make a Samba user everytime a
Linux one is created.  You can 
click that if you choose.  

At this point you should be good to go.  Hit start samba in webmin or apply
changes and you
should be good to go.  Go to your WIndows box and click on your workgroup
and browse you
Linux machine.  Go into network(Gnome) and click on your workgroup.  Go into
Konquorer 
and you could browse to your Windose machine a few different way.  Good
luck.
