Solution 2:

Install Samba (package name system-config-samba). If you are using Xubuntu 13.10 then also install gksu. Then go to Settings Manager -> Samba and add the desired shares.

Alternatively you can edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf file and add something like this

[set share name here]
    path = set path here
    comment = set description here
    writeable = no
    browseable = yes
    read only = yes
    guest ok = yes
