Lubuntu-Windows networking how-to/FAQ?

[John Hupp]

A little digging seems to show that there are various ways of sharing 
files between platforms, using Samba, NFS, SSHFS with Dokan, or GVFS 
(with Samba?)

After thinking about it a little further, let me refine the request: I 
would like to find a method in which the shared directory resides on the 
Lubuntu machine, and the Windows XP/Vista/7 client can access it without 
installing anything extra.

I add this to the equation: The Lubuntu machine is already running NFS 
for the sake of acting as an LTSP server.  So if there is a nice recipe 
for using that, then I can avoid further loading down the Lubuntu 
installation.

And also this: The Lubuntu machine is on a private Ethernet network and 
I don't think I need to be too worried about the security of the shared 
directory.
