On this LAN we have:
* Windows 7 desktop, 192.168.1.2
* Ubuntu 10.04 desktop with ext4 filesystem, 192.168.1.5

On the Windows 7 system, how do you mount a Ubuntu "/home/myHomeDirectory" (ext4 filesystem) as "drive U:" ?

So that U: => 192.168.1.5:/home/myHomeDirectory

One possibility is a commercial product called ExpanDrive.
Can you recommend anything else?
