The SMB *client* is installed by default in ubuntu. You have to add the smb server separately using apt-get or the synaptic package manager. sudo apt-get install samba After you install the smb server, go to System->Administration->Shared Folders and add a shared folder. Then from a console run sudo smbpasswd -a <yourloginhere> and after that restart samba sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
At least that's what worked for me. I find it a lot easier to be able to do the sharing/copying from the Windows side using Explorer than the ubuntu side using the Gnome file thing. But YMMV. It's nice to have both pathways set up.
