Hi..
I have two computers. One windows xp, one ubunto..
I like to able to copy files from the windows computer to the ubuntu
computer. They are both connected to a router which connect to
internet via a adsl-modem... Any help would be much appreciated. I
don't know anything about this..



Do you want to be sitting at the Linux box be able to "see" the windows
box? Or do you want to sit at the Windows box and "see" the Linux box?
Those are two different things. For the former, others have pointed to
the "how to" of file sharing in windows. If you want the latter, then
you need to run a Samba server on the Linux box.

I want to see the windows box from ubuntu.. I have shared two folders
in windows.. But they don't show up in linux.. Sorry if these are very
basic questions..
