Home p2p network, need help

[Leandro Melo]

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.
