I don't quite understand what you want to do, but...  I'll try to help.
If you are trying to access Windows share on another computer, there is 
some stuff you need.
First of all, install Samba: $ sudo apt-get install samba and then open 
nautilus and type in the address bar: 
smb://the_name_or_ip_of_the_computer_you_want_to_access ...
One more thing, I remember in Gutsy even having a sharing tool somewhere 
in System -> Administration -> Sharing , but I don't find it in Hardy.

If you want to share something from your computer, in Hardy, just 
right-click a folder, and you have sharing options.

I think that would be it, if I understood the problem correctly.

All the best,
