my mac has no problems accessing them over a netatalk share

I acquired a Mac G4 Cube running OS X, but I'm not familiar with the Mac OS and I haven't really spent any time on that machine. It's running on the wireless LAN in my apartment using an Airport card. I'm interested in setting up my network so the Mac can access shares on my Windows boxes...what do I need to do this? What is this netatalk you speak of...is that it?

Just not my area of expertise...
