For 20 points, install SAMBA. SAMBA is what gives Windows Networking functionality, including sharing folders and printers, to linux clients.

The best way to do it is Samba, and once you have installed Samba (most of the distribution comes with it pre-installed), then use the configuration file under /etc/smb.conf, make sure that the workgroup is the same as the one in your windows NT (some time it's the domain name), then check the DNS and IP settings to be on the same LAN as other NT box and restart your samba server after the configuration and you should see the Linux box under the Network Neighborhood.
Good luck
