I don't know how to access a Samba share running on a Ubuntu 10.04 server through OpenVPN 2.1.0.

I've installed & configured OpenVPN and everything works. The server end of the tunnel has the IP of 10.8.0.1. When I connect from XP (over our local network) I'm given the IP of 10.8.0.6. I can ping and trace route from both ends of the tunnel.

Now, I'm lost...how to access the Samba share from XP and from OS X?
