I also transfered files using a similar method to yours. Here is what I did, 1. Booted that Vista machine with my puppypendrive, 2. `sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2` and `sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.2` in Ubuntu. 3. `ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.4` and `route add default gw 192.168.1.4` in Puppy. 4. `ping 192.168.1.4` in Ubuntu and `ping 192.168.1.2` in Puppy. Thats it, we got the connection. 5. Puppy have ftp server, so no problem. I started the ftp server in Puppy and `ftp 192.168.1.4` in Ubuntu. Transfered nearly 12 GB of data from my system to his system(Movies, Music though). I posted this problem to learn how to peer-to-peer linux and windows. but the above method is peer-to-peer linux and linux.
