[olug] Router Network

[Nate]

I'm still having trouble here.  I can ping both machines from both 
machines.  I don't know how to read or write to any directory from one 
machine to another.  If I can ping it must be working but some setting 
is not right because I cannot see the other machines directory from 
either machine structure at all.  
I set share up the way I thought it should be on the windows machine but 
the linux machine I have no idea.  Someone mentioned Samba but I have no 
idea how to set it.   Could someone guide me to a place or offer info to 
help?

thanks,
Nate
