this is a bit out of context for the list, but here are some minimal tips
anyway.
If you don't have *real* IP's for your machine (just playing around at home,
etc...?) - you probably want to assign IP's as 192.168.0.x with netmask
255.255.255.0
for example... 192.168.0.1 on one machine, 192.168.0.2 on another, etc...
If you *only* want to connect these two machines - you *could* use a
cross-over cable to connect the machines - otherwise a hub is fairly cheap.
For the Linux box to show up in the Windows network neighborhood - check out
samba.org - plent of documentation and hints there.
good luck...
