Thanks for your suggestion.I did try out samba how ever the client
machine is not able to mount the shares from the samba server.
The directory on samba server which I want to share is
/media/New Volume
Following is smb.conf on samba server

[hell]
   comment = Winows files
   read only = yes
   locking = no
   browseable = yes
   path = /media/New\ Volume
   guest ok = yes

the permissions of directory
ls -l /media/
drwx------ 1 deel deel 16384 2011-11-16 10:33 New Volume

Even after trying to change permissions
sudo chmod 755 /media
the permissions do not change.

the testparm command seems to run safe

testparm /etc/samba/smb.conf
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
rlimit_max: increasing rlimit_max (1024) to minimum Windows limit (16384)
Processing section "[printers]"
Processing section "[print$]"
Processing section "[hell]"
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE

the /media/New Volume is a directory which is having NTFS partition,
there is no corresponding fstab entry for the same.

What more do I need to check?
