Share dir between machines running Wheezy

Well I installed Linuxcnc 2.7.4 Wheezy with no problems. CNC runs great.
I can browse my office windows network but how do I share a dir between wheezy machines.
Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid has a Share tab in Nautilus but Wheezy is using Thunar.
I have searched all over the net. I know I could use NFS or samba but can't gvfs do it?
The more I search the more confused I get.

Thanks,
Well I gave up on the gvfs stuff and just went with samba.
here is what I did:
# To share a folder on network from Debian wheezy:
# assuming you have a working network connection
# In a terminal type:
sudo mousepad /etc/samba/smb.conf

#add something like this at the end of the smb.conf file
# (replace 'joe' with your username and 'mydir' with a folder in your home dir)
[mydir]
path = /home/joe/mydir
valid users = joe guest
read only = no
create mask = 666
directory mask = 777
force user = joe
force group = joe
browseable = yes

# save and exit mousepad. then type:
sudo apt-get install samba
sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart

It made mydir available to other linux machines and windows.
I hope this will help someone else.
