kubuntu ethernet setup help, please



HI, I have been struggling with setting up ethernet between two kubuntu computers. Both of these computers are dual-boot with windows and I can detect the network card in both through Kinfo center and through the lshw command. I rebooted both into windows to check that the various hardware was functioning and it was.
I'm certain that I have checked some box or incorrectly filled a field somewhere. Because, what is easy for others is not working at all for me.
Is there any step by step guides available? Are there any quick and easy ways to set this up. I really only need some simple sharing of a few folders and also share internet connection between the computer I am
writing from and the other.
One problem on the other is; that when I try to access Network Services (which I believe is the way you access your network) I get a message that either mdnsd can't be found.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have set up ethernet networks in windows but never really fully knew what I was doing but this seems even more difficult. I also don't do engine work lol.
Chris
