What about Samba?  It will set up shares on RH 9 that XP can see.

Check out http://us1.samba.org/samba/

RH 9 has samba packages, try "up2date --showall" or an earlier version that
still works is on the installation ISOs.

Cheers,

You can't get there from here, not out of the box, anyway.  Microsoft
refuses to admit that Linux exists, so it has no way to read ext2 or
ext3 filesystems.  You can, however, within linux, write to a FAT32
filesystem (but not an NTFS filesystem), and Windoze can read and
write to that.

That said, have a look at

http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/ext2.html

specifically

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsd

but bear in mind it is alpha software.
