getting files from my windows machine

[Mohammed Al-shar']

hi.

I just want to see if people here know of an easier way to transfer files 
between my windows machine and my ubuntu one. what I currently have to do is 
copy them through a memory stick. in networking, neither of the 2 devices 
can detect each other, but they both are physically connected to the same 
network and to the net. since I couldn't get any of the administration tools 
work with speech it doesn't seem likely I can go further.

anybody can offer his help or advice?

All the best,
Mohammed Al-shar'
