It should be possible to do that. You won't be able to use the NETBEUI 
protocol for file sharing because it has been dropped from windows and 
it probably isn't available in Ubuntu.
That leaves TCP/IP, which both systems should have. However they are set 
up on the different systems, you will need to use very similar IP 
numbers on each system to bring them within range of each other.

There is an article on it here:
