Networking with router
 
Hey, I have 2 linux boxes and a windows box all connected to a router/switch (ethernet) and I'd like to network the two linux boxes with eachother. Is this possible to do? How?

IT sounds like they are already networked.

Run this on both machines to obtain your computers ip:
ifconfig

Then on the other machine run:
ping ip.address.of.other.server

If you get a reply then the machines are networked.

How do I do stuff like transfer files between then and stuff?

Read about samba (smb)

Just use the search function

isnt samba just for Linux/Windows networking, no Linux/Linux?

Samba can be used for linux/windows or linux/linux. But for linux/linux, I would recommend NFS, as it is much more secure.

Yes NFS is better than samba for linx to linux but if you only want totransfer a few file then look at ftp and scp.

I had the impression that the windows box was in the picture...I wonder where I got that from.

SCP would be my recommendation aswell. I used it for over a year till I decided to get Samba running (I had windows machines too..just used WinSCP)

OR..you could just use Samba and have interconnectivity between all the machines.
