Network for Three Machine FC-5, FC-6, WinXp

[jzuo]

Hello everyone:
I have three machine in my home, FC-5, FC-6, and WinXP, Currently, the network is working, I can transfer file from FC-5 to WinXP, FC-6 to WinXP, but I don't know how to transfer between FC-5, and FC-6. I set static ip
address for each machine. I try using FTP, or Telnet with ip address, and get error like:
"connect: No route to host"

Can anyone have any idea?

Thanks!

How are the machines connected?

Yeah i have more then two distros connected to 3-4 Xp machines (entire family is on the same network i am the only Linux guy ) I would however like to fine a linux only networking solution not sure maybe NFS can do this but not sure not really experienced enough with it.
