Sure.  The program you are looking for is called Samba.  It allows
Linux (and other Unix and Unix-like systems) to access SMB based
networks, such as Windows, Lan Manager, and OS/2 networks.

Get more info on it at http://us3.samba.org/samba/samba.html, there is
a very good introduction to it in the documentation section
(http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/SambaIntro.html).
