From the Gutsy machine, click System -> Administration -> Services. Make
sure "Folder sharing service (samba)" is enabled. Then go System ->
Administration -> Shared Folders to setup any folders you want shared on
your machine to be made available over your LAN.

With the Windows 2000 machine booted up, from the Gutsy machine again
click Places (up top on the menu bar) -> Network.
