If you connect the your default Linksys IP 192.168.1.1 you can connect to your router settings. Username is always blank and the default password is admin. Unless you changed them around.
If you click Status at the top or DHCP you should see another button that says Show Clients or something close. That will show you the computers connected to your router and there default IP.
Or in Windows, Start > Run > cmd > ipconfig - this will show you the IP your machine is assigned.
That website he gave you is helpful if your not in the same room as your computer and you need to send files from say a friends house to yours....but from what I got from your post the machines are in the same location hooked through a Linksys router.
To connect via ssh to a LOCAL box your going to need the local IP. You won't have to worry about setting up your router or anything to do it that way.
And WinSCP is a great tool to use for Windows file transfers to Linux.
