On the same LAN--as your machine are--you can find the Linux box by either using it as your DNS server on the LAN, or putting an entry for it in the XP boxes' 'hosts' file (%WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts). If you're running a firewall on the Fedora box, you'll have to make sure it allows connections. Then just use 'scp' to move files, 'ssh' or PuTTY to connect for a console session. >From off-LAN, it's almost as easy--on any firewall, redirect port 22* to the IP address of the target Fedora (or any Linux/Unix) system. *It's actually strongly recommended to use a different port than the standard for SSH on the WAN side; it'll greatly reduce doorknob-rattling. If you're using a hardware firewall appliance--some firewall appliances allow port reassignment (e.g., "requests for port 2234 go to port 22 on IP x.x.x.x"; others aren't that smart, so you'd have to change the listening port on the Linux box.
