Ok here's my issues,

A guya work with, his XP laptop has crashed and we NEED to get some files (about 1gig) off of it. When Xp loads, it goes straight to the blue screen of Death.

So I throw in Knoppix 3.2 Cd, boots up fine, I can see the files under the hard drive, BUT when I try to just connect using a cross over cable from the XP machine to the Knoppix I can't seem to get the machines to "show" a connection.

If I hardcode the IP's I am able to ping each other just fine, but I can't figure out how in the GUI screen how to view my XP laptop to the Knoppix laptop, any idea's? We need to get these files out before we format the damned XP box... Any help would be great, as well a littel more "Walk through" style instructions, since I haven't had the chance to play with knoppix much my self as I am never home on my Linux box...
