As you might know, windows computers use smb (Samba) sharing to share their folders on your network. For as far as I know, there isn't any Samba server available for the N900 (yet). A lot of people use WinSCP to connect to their N900 (you have to have an ssh server running to be able to do this), or you could use ftpd, which sets up an FTP server on your N900. After that you could use any windows FTP client (e.g. FileZilla, which is free and very handy) to access your files on the N900...
Hope this helps
