It's quit easy:

1. on both machines you have to set fixed ip-adresses:
192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2
On Edubuntu you use the network manager (the icon with the 2 displays)

2. on the windows-machine you give the network rights to the folder. (I
don't no the english topic for the german "Freigabe")

3. on the edubuntu machine you klick places/network and find in nautilus
an icon windows network. There you should find the windows machine.

I think that's all
