It is easier to add tcp/ip support on your Win boxes.
There´s a range of addresses (192.?.?.?) which you can choose for
local installations, i.e. without official approvement for this
addresses. Sorry, I don´t know them without digging in Howtos and
RFC´s (Internet Standard Documentation).

Using samba.

the time to get a unix primer from your nearest library and read
something about the "file" and directory philosophy of Unix.
As these OSes are quite different you might want to learn what the
difference is.
Please do not take this as an offence if I´m wrong (English is not my
first language).
Thanks,
