how to join a linux pc into Win network?

hi there. I’m a novice in Linux and I’ve just installed RedHat release 8(kernel version 2.4.18.14) on my pc. My question is: do i need to do any configuration on the linux pc if i need to join it to a Windows environment? I will need it to access some WinNT and W2k server’s data. Can it be done? thank you.
