If you wanna sandbox Windows you sh/could use a VM (virtualbox is neat), along with separate partitions, chroots, etc. You can also tune your Windows, but that depends on its version and is OT in there lists, obviously. 2K8 has extensive firewall configurations and some snap-ins for "unix file sharing" or something.
If you want it to share files with the rest of the (mostly linux) network, you could use Samba and already suggested. Or FTP, HTTP, SSH etc etc. If you're worried windows-malware will infect your linux LAN, use a firewall. Shorewall was suggested and i second that. There's also Firestarter if you prefer a GUI. This depends on how your network is setup. If you're using VMs you can use iptables on the host; if not, depends on the routers' flexibility. Also use clamav, available for both OS families.
