Thanks from me also. Your guide and the info on Windows Workgroups have got a lot of very helpful information, but it looks like I don't meet the criteria for using them. I don't have an existing network of Windows PCs, but here's what I do have:A (wireless) laptop running Window 7
A (wired) desktop running XP
If I can get those two networked, then I want to add Ubuntu:12.04 which boots either from an external drive or a flash drive which is normally attached to the same PC that runs XP.
Is such a setup feasible?
Initially, I need help in just getting the two Windows PCs networked.
