well, i regret to say this, but im using winXP (sorry, i dont have 
enough hdd for ubuntu (2 partitions = 100% of my hdd) and the 
NDISwrapper doesnt work with my wireless). But samba should work with it 
since samba is compatible with windows file and printer sharing. Try 
samba. see if it works that way
