SMB usually works well... if browsing it via smb:// doesn't work (if
you're using slackware and konqueror, Pat just added support in
-current) then you can also mount the shares via smbmount.

Another option, which is less secure, is NFS.

You should be able to find walk-throughs and all sorts of information
about SMB and NFS via google.  It is your friend.  :-)
