Mapping a Unix drive/directory to Windows?

Map a directory on my Unix server as a drive on my Windows machine. I know the IP address of the Unix box, but it doesn't show up in my network neighborhood. Any ideas?

You need to setup SAMBA and then share a file/folder on the "Unix" machine or Linux machine whichever. Windows simply can't directly address folders on a machine that isn't setup within the workgroup without an interface.. Samba is the interface between the two systems.
