DAVE is nice, but it's overkill for this situation. OS X's built-in 
Samba support should be enough for Albert's environment.

First step: disable the firewall (if any) on the Wintel box, then ping 
each machine. If the machine answers, your network is working, and you 
should check your sharing settings. If the ping fails, you have a 
network settings problem. (E.g., Is your network device enabled? Are 
the machines on the same subnet? Is the network device binding for 
TCP/IP on? And so on.)

Anyway, you need to post more details -- what have you tried, what the 
results were, etc.
