On the Linux side, the two common ways to mount remote drives are with 
Samba and with NFS. Linux also supports old-style Macintosh sharing via 
netatalk. Your limitation is more likely to be on the Windows side than the 
Linux side.

Usually, Windows supports only SMB (Samba, that is), but I imagine (though 
I don't know ... this is a Linux list, not a Windows list) there *might* be 
add-in NFS servers available for Windows. You can do SMB in userspace with 
smbclient (clumsy, comparatively speaking) or in kernelspace if you compile 
your kernel to support smbfs filesystems (smooth).
