depends on what you mean by "see it". ;-) If TCP/IP is configured
correctly, you should have no problems pinging one machine from the other.

If you want to exchange files between Linux and Windows, you need Samba.
Your machines should be in the same IP subnet then (192.168.32.XXX for
example). There is a SMB-Howto which can be found at
http://www.linuxdoc.org.

Anne
