Connecting TWO PCs under (Ed)ubuntu Desktop 7.04

[Njoku, George O.]

Using a cross-over cable = direct connection b/w both boxes
Using straight thru cable = putting a hub or switch b/w the two boxes

Linux IP = local IP address = e.g 192.168.1.2
Windows IP = local IP = e.g 192.168.1.3

Install samba on Edubuntu (to share directories in linux)
Share a Folder or Directory in Windows


Use smbclient to connect from linux to windows
Or, Use "\\linuxmachine" from windows browser to connect to Linux machine


Cheers
George

I apologize that on the last email I make the
mistake  changing "TWO" for "to".
---------------------------------------------------
  Hi, 
  Please, could someone tell me how can I configure
TWO
machine which OS is the Edubuntu Desktop 7.04 to
communicate between them through a cross cable ?
  Especifically, I am searching a way to transfer
files between the computers.
  I tried also (but I have not a deep knowledge on
networking) to make the communication between the
Edubuntu Desktop 7.04 and a pc under Windows XP
without success.
  The I have tried between the Ubuntu Desktop 7.04 and
Windows XP.
  Thanks in advance.
  Emanuel
