Yes. Here's the point. I have to o.s. in the "server" pc, windows xp and fedora. My home network has worked for more than one year. Now, i decided to install fedora in my computer (as i said). So the physical stuff is all set. I just want the windows xp "see" my fedora core (just like when i have the two windows running). When i did this with xp, everything was very click. The xp wizards guided me throught the whole process. I don't expect such a thing in fedora (naturally), but i'd just like a simple way to make this p2p net to work. There must be a tutorial os something for doing this, probably about 10 million people have already done this at home.
