Also, will someone please tell me where I can find drivers for things such as wireless network cards to connect to the internet?

Once they are on the same computer all you need to do is create fat32 partition to share files. That should be it linux cant see ntfs partitions.

actually, when accessing across a network the fat table has NOTHING to do with file sharing. Its in the o/s. Just remember the 7 layers, they take care of the translations. So the fat table will have nothing to do with it. If using Linux and Win to file share and print share, use something like Samba.
