Yip, NFS. The free SFU 3.5 software available for download from Microsoft includes NFS software for Windows.

NFS is the way that samba actually shares the files anyways, it just makes it comprehensible for the rest of the windows computers to access the files by the regular tools they use usually.

On a side note, I can't believe someone is recommending Services for Unix in this forum.
