hey...
well, it's a little different in Linux, to share files with a non-Linux system like Windows you use services like Samba or NFS. to use NFS you have to install a NFS client on the Windows box first, Samba works without any extra apps because it uses the server message block protocol (SMB) of MS. actually Samba is nothing but a SMB server, they only had to change the name because of copyright issues.
to make it short: when no Samba- or NFS-server is running on your Linux box you have no shared files!
to check for NFS functionality run this command:
and you will see something like this:
that's from my homeserver, and as you can see: no "nfs" to find there.
to check for Samba look at the running services by:
you'll get a list like
if no "samba" is displayed in the list the service isn't running.
if you plan to share files I wouldn't recommend Samba or NFS anyway. if you want to share them in your home network simply use a SSH client, and if you want to share them through the internet run a ftp- or http-server...
if you have more questions just ask, I'm really glad to see when people start getting into Linux...I know it's a little pain in the ass at the beginning when you're used to Windows, but after a while you will begin to laugh at the Windows networking possibilities compared to the Linux ones...

hm, you mean to use another computer connected to the hub as gateway?
first check the device name of the network card you are using to connect by:
if you have just one network card you can skip this because then the device name is eth0....
alright, now let's assume your NIC is eth0 and the gateway IP you want to use is 192.168.1.1, simply add the gateway to your route by:
that's it!

well, when you have set the gateway and the network card is enabled you should be able to connect to the internet already..
and to connect to your Linux box from a Windows one a SSH client is the best, here you can get my favorite one:
http://ftp.ssh.com/pub/ssh/SSHSecureShe ... -3.2.9.exe
