to start a service like samba on ubuntu you type:

sudo /etc/init.d/samba start

i attached a very basic (and not very secure) smb.conf, 
fill in your host and username , do:

sudo cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.bak
create a dir called Export in your home
and copy the attaced/modified file to /etc/samba/smb.conf

everything you copy to your Export dir will then be visible to the 
M$ world after starting samba.
