Try using Samba. I heard that people were able to wirelessly share files between xp and ubuntu. I'm not sure about vista, but check it out.

Yes, Samba on any Unix/Linux uses the same interface as Windows Print/File Sharing,
eg ports 139/445

The sole issue is to be sure that Vista is config'd to use LM V1 protocol

see this topic (http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic101142.html)

and this samba example (http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic34108.html)
