1- subnet-
Yep.... they're all on the same subnet
2- ping-
mint to ubuntu- success!
mint to XP- success
XP to mint- success!
XP to Ubuntu- Success!
Ubuntu to Mint- Success!
Ubuntu to XP- Success!
Layer 3 is intact.
3- telnet
mint to ubuntu- success!
mint to XP- success
XP to mint- success!
XP to Ubuntu- Success!
Ubuntu to Mint- Success!
Ubuntu to XP- Success!
Layer is intact. I couldn't figure out how to use telnet but it didn't error out so I figure it is all good.
4a- "start->run-> type "\\192.168.0.x\" and see if you can see shares.
They are seen.
4b- mount -t cifs -o defaults,username=myuser //192.168.0.x/share_name /tmp/cifs
the XP directory is mounts and lista in the ubuntu and mint computers but when I go from the mint to ubuntu it refuses to accept my passwd. You know.... I have no idea what the password is! I've never been able to access the share. I suppose I could set it for Guest access but I don't like that idea because what if I'm at starbucks and so,eome there hacks into..... what would they have to do to get into my box before they see the folders which allow guest access? I suppose it would be better to find out why it won't accept my password!
Anyways: ip addr show is how I picked up the 5.5.8.1/21 . I am guessing it has something to do with a VPN because as0t1 has something to do with VPN. (I remember playing woth VPN for a day or two)

Look at the subnet mask there, should be 255.255.255.0. If they're all on the same switch/router, than they're in the same subnet.
Can they ping each other's addresses? layer 3 is good
Telnet to each other on port 445 "telnet 192.168.0.x 445" layer 4 is good
From windoze, "start->run-> type "\\192.168.0.x\" and see if you can see shares. Try more specifically if you know the share name.
If you want to test from linux back install smbfs packages (specifically for cifs) and mount as:
mkdir /tmp/cifs
mount -t cifs -o defaults,username=myuser //192.168.0.x/share_name /tmp/cifs
Layer 5 and up should be good if you can do the last, otherwise figure out where in between the problem lies. Try in both directions too. It's more than likely with samba config, not the network. Though I'm not at all sure what that 5.5.6.1 address was you were looking at...

something in *nix I wouldn't have to ask you how to do it in windows. So
I googled it and found 'cygwin'. so I install it and the first command I
type in I am DENIED! File not found it says. So what is the best unix
emulator for windows? 'ip addr show' is the command that wasn't found.
