Hi Billy!

For starters try: http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/index.html

Look specifically at chapter "7. Networking" and specifically "Samba
Server".  Be sure to read the part ahead of Samba Server, it is necessary
that both boxes know where and who each other is on the network.  Then both
need to be using Samba to share the files/folders (assuming two Linux
boxes).

Please let me know how it goes.

Thanks,

Tod
