For easy fast comunication between winxp and linux machines, is there
anything other than samba the works reliably.
        
HTTP
FTP
DAV
Samba
SSH/SCP
(probably others too)

Take your pick. Though as far as I know the only one Windows can
actually mount (as a drive) is Samba.
      
Thanks, yes, of course their are those.  I should have defined what I
meant a bit better.
Is there a tool out there that allows a windows user to access linux
directories with an explorer like interface, or in some fairly
seemless way so that linux machines show up in `network places' or
something similar.

Something like an nfs for windows I guess.  I've seen that very thing
but it was an ancient non-developed app.
    


There's something called CIFS in the kernel, but I haven't used it yet.
It is apparently based on SMB and extends it.

It may be worth a try.

Has anyone else used this?

Samba is CIFS is Samba.  CIFS has been around in various forms since the early 90's.  The Samba team based much of their work on the different CIFS implementations put out by Microsoft over the years.
