Stephen In short .... yes... However I bet you need more info than this so let me point you to some docs.
The basics of Networking. http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Networking-Overview-HOWTO.html Samba ( the network neighborhood for *nix/windows ) http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/SMB-HOWTO.html These two should get you properly confused *grin* actually they will provide more info than you will need but they are rather general in nature. How I would handle it is that I'd set linux box with a basic firewall and IP-Masq. This allows me to use my one real IP number and then 'share' it with all the other boxes for the net. behind that firewall I then have 253 ip-numbers I can use (per network) to enable local boxes to find each other. If you already have these two behind a firewall or they both already have IP numbers then you only need to use samba on your linux box and you are off and running with the shares. Of course you can always use WS-FTP or CuteFTP on your Windows box to get and put files on the Linux box. The advantage of Samba is that it allows for two way file movement between linux and windows. FTP is only from windows since it doesn't have an ftp server. Then once you have samba up on the linux box and both are in the same "group" (explained in the how to above) I would recommend putting xsmbrowser on your linux box. It's interface makes for really straight forward use of samba to transfer files. I realize this is a short explination but most of the info is covered in the above how to's and would make a really long e-mail.
