Judging from your question, I am going to assume you have a local area network that is being serviced by a Windows NT or 200x server and you want to replace it. I also assume that this server has a primary function as a file and print server maybe with Active Directory. Going under these assumptions I think what you want to do is look at Samba. Samba will be the service on your Linux box that handles these file and print sharing duties for your legacy network.
I think that fellow SearchEnterpriseLinux.com Expert John Terpstra's book Samba-3 by example is particularly good.
The Samba Web site also is a fountain of great information. I recommend looking over this page. I also think this chapter is particularly relevant to your situation.
