Hi,

I am using ubuntu 8.10 and want to remote to XP and visa-versa(ie be able to use my local keyboard and mouse) to control the other remote machine.

I also want to share some folders between the two on my local network. Both of them are connected via my wireless router.

thanks for your help.

Use the Terminal Server Client in Ubuntu and give it the XP machine's IP address. Choose RDP as the protocol.
