You must use Samba to do this. There are some great howto's online for Samba.

Change the name of the Samba group(My Group) to your domain name. Change the authentication from "user" to domain add your domain controller's IP address and add the Linux box's name into DNS.

If you have Samba installed already you can accomplish all this by using the Samba server configuration utility. You WON'T need to manually edit any config files to get this to work. I have it setup right now on my network and it works fine.

I know that is a simplified version. Post again if you haven't gotten it to work yet.
