I could be wrong, but I think he was after mounting a share exported
from the UNIX box rather than the XP box. What you would use depends on
whether the exported share is NFS or SMB using Samba. 

If you are using NFS, I believe there are NFS clients for Windows, but
you would make it much easier by using Samba for this purpose. Install
Samba and use the web-based SWAT interface (or edit /etc/smb.conf) to
set it up with a new share. There is a lot of documentation on how to do
this.
