If the Windows computer is set to share files already then it should just be a case of using CMD+K to open the "Connect to server" Finder dialog.
The server address will be something like "smb://<ip address of windows computer>/<share name>".

Otherwise iFelix provides a solution from scratch with lots of pretty pictures.
