   Look, Ms Penguin has just read this and is very annoyed. Can you join the   
   group. Linux ancestors where networking right from the start.   
      
   Samba is want you want. Not the dance but the efforts of Andrew and his   
   team. You might want to dance once you have it working, not that it is   
   hard to do so but rather, look at that! MS windows not required.   
      
   Connect to server under one of the menu items. Windows shares I think it   
   is called.   
      
   BTW Samba also works Linux to Linux, but Ms Penguin says that Linux native   
   tools work better.
