Whichever way you can get it to work. :)

I've found that enabling windows sharing on my mac (SysPrefs>Sharing) and then 
connecting to it from an XP machine with the IP address to be fairly painless. Map a network drive in an XP explorer window and enter your Mac's IP address and your username like this:

10.0.0.5/orbitborn

and then type your password. That'll give you access to your home directory on the mac.

Or you could setup a linux server and use samba / windows sharing between the 
two...

Or you could use smbclient in the terminal on your mac...
