you mean shared files and so one?
have a look for samba

I have a triple boot operating system - win98se, winXP and Red Hat Linux 9.0
in one of my 8 networked PCs. The remaining 7 are running a mix of win98se
and winXP machines. Can linux talk to win98se and winXP machines? How do I
network Red Hat 9.0 with the windows machines?

For win98se and winXP it is a matter of setting the TCP/IP, Netbeau, Client
for microsoft network, file and printer sharing....etc..etc.

Where do I find these settings or similar settings in RH 9.0?

Also see http://samba.netfirms.com/faq.htm for an excellent short tutorial
if you are new to this sort of thing.

You can try samba as others suggested, but if you just want to
transfer files between windopes and GNU/Linux boxes, there is
a quicker way....

Type this in a console window..

/etc/init.d/ssh start
update-rc.d ssh defaults

The first command starts ssh, and second makes ssh start every time you
boot.

To log into machines from a linux box using konqueror type this into the
url box

fish://username@ipaddress

it will bring up files in remote machine with ipaddress - similar to
windopes explorer but over a secure ssh link.

If you want to do a similar thing with windopes, download the free (GPL'd)
winscp utility from http://winscp.sourceforge.net
and you can get a similar interface to explorer connecting from windope
machine to GNU/Linux machine - but this time over a secure link!
