However, I don't want to move files back and forth --- makes things much easier and cleaner.
I can already access the web server from my desktop simply by pointing to the ip address. however, the only step missing is me being able to edit the files directly on the tablet from my Windows machine.
I believe I've properly made the folder shared via Konquerer; right-click, choose properties, share tab, etc. However, my Windows box does not see the tablet in My Network Place --- I've even tried typing in the name of the tablet, but still no go. \\NOKIA-N800-23-14
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

Tried that too, but no luck --- Windows can't find it. I've even turned off my Windows firewall. Is there something that I maybe need to do in the KDE Control Panel?

I am not sure how you have configured samba? but you may need to start it, I am not sure the startup scripts are included?
ps -fe | grep smb
if not start nmb and smb and try to browse from another computer?

I think you're on to something. There is no smb service running and there is no /etc/init.d/samba file. Trying to access any samba binary (e.g., /usr/share/samba) returned an access denied response --- even though I am root.
Do you know if there is a way to accomplish what I'm looking to do in the Maemo environment?

I could not find a solution for this other to install proftpd and FTP files back and forth. Not as elegant as I'd like, but it's better than nothing!

find /usr/local -name smb.conf
samba is installed in /usr/local

I used the Control Panel to edit smb.conf ... so, when I looked at the file earlier, it was already updated.
However, I did try all instances of the samba binary unsuccessfully at that time too --- whether in /usr/local or /usr/share or the third location which I can't remember where it was. All returned a permission denied error.
When you say the startup scripts weren't included, you're not saying that I also need them to run samba, right? I mean I don't need them because, theoretically, I would just type /usr/local/samba start to get the service going. (Which unfortunately isn't working.)

or
find /usr/local -name smb
I don't recall off the top of my head, I am in the midst of testing gui install tools and I have 9 partitions and no KDE
