samba is a program simulates a windows network on a linux machine. you don't have to isntall it on windows. when samba is running properly, . the machine will show up in your windows network under whatever workgroup you specify.

it's not working?

Or....what you could do like me..

get winscp and move all my stuff between my dads box and my box.....

example:

I am in Windows

and I need ti transfer a music cd. I used 7zip to .tar.gz it and now I use WINscp from my dads computer (192.168.0.166) to the files from my comp to his. Then I boot into Linux (Slackware) and I use WINscp from my dads computer again to send the files to me on Linux.....

Its tough but it works...

Another thing I do is I have a friend who hosts me with unlimited web space...I upload the stuff there and then wget it from Linux.

HTH
