Oh internets, help me with my mixed platform environment

So. I've been assigned some IT-type responsibilities at EDA. I have not used a macintosh regularly for nearly a decade and am just starting to feel almost comfortable on the mac laptop they got me. We have both Windows machines and macs on the network and have a Mac OS X server, which I'm about to upgrade to 10.5.

I feel like a total newb in this environment. In case I have some Mac-heads here, I wanted to ask. What should I read? Where should I go for advice and problem solutions?

Especially, how can I set things up so our windows users can connect to the Mac server as a shared device (like a mounted drive --basically like the mac users can) instead of having to sftp into it?

Ha! Good luck, I'm still working on this. I've tried every damn tutorial and support thread I've found but nothing seems to work, in either Tiger or Leopard. The best I've managed to do is open up network sharing on My Shared Documents and drop things off into the Windows machine from the Mac machine that way. I can't even get Windows to recognize the Mac machine. :-/
