Windows and Knoppix

[Endless]

The problem is that I lack drive space on my second computer, and for some reason I cant get K3B to recognise my recordable media, neither will it recognize my USB HDD (NTSF but I can format it if need be). So the way I want to set it up now is like this.

My computer is connected to a router, my father s laptop is connected to the same router, and now I want to send my files over there, but they were never linked in the past and I do not know how to properly set-up a LAN using Linux. What should I do to transfer my files to the laptop?

Knoppix should detect the permanent connection and be connected to the net, so it'll grab an IP from the router and be part of the local network. Knoppix comes with a ftp server installed, but you need to do a few things before you can access it from another machine (<a href="http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/FTP_FAQ">instructions here</a>), after that, go on the laptop, open your favorite ftp program, and connect to your computer by using its IP addresss. Your router admin page should have a panel listing the clients connected and their IP, one is the laptop, the other your computer.
