Oh you mean the firewall... About sharing the drives part... have you tried mounting those drives/partitions with uid=your-user ?

umm i am currently putting all the data in a single folder and sharing that. would not be a problem as i am going to use the desktop system just as a file storage system now 
would merge all the partitions and make a one big shared folder 
now that i know how to do that, i can make that system purely ubuntu only... file sharing seems to work perfectly. i can copy, move, delete files!

watch out for gparted, it kinda screwed my winxp partitions better to use vista's "shrink drive" feature although the amount you can shrink is limited...btw, how come you cant share drives? dont you just share the mount point of the drive and it should be ok? \\my-pc\d-drive\ should get you the root folder and all subfolders visible, no?i was able to do it, although i dont have it setup right now

it works and it works beautifully! i got a three screen system at my place!

synergy2 is real cool. nice toy
got it working in 20 min flat on 3 devices...
winxp desktop (server called blackbird) on the left, opensuse tablet (silverbird) in the middle and gutsy laptop (vaiobird) on the right!
setup was real easy with the following config
and just had to open default port 24800 on server and client just ran following command "synergyc -f --name myclientname myservername".
i just had to manually add the positioning on windows config file as follows:
section: links
blackbird:
right = silverbird
silverbird:
left = blackbird
right = vaiobird
vaiobird:
left = silverbird
end
