I've found a number of web references to setting static IP
addresses on Windows machines.
*HOWEVER* assume internet connectivity by one/both
machines.
I have two Lenovo laptops. One running WinXP Pro. The other runs
Linux.
I wish to create a minimal network. It will consist of only those
two machines.
Neither will have any internet connectivity.

Can anyone point me to any documentation EXPLICITLY covering my
{admittedly} peculiar requirement.
TIA
Incidental remark: try Cygwin under XP, which puts
a unix-like environment there while leaving
everything else working, at least if all you want
is compilers and shells.
Its /dev/clipboard is enormously useful.
Other machines have files under
//machinename/sharepath for files you share under
windows, so networks are trivial.

For reasons not relevant here I wish to avoid adding any software
to that machine.
*HOWEVER* saying that Cygwin would provide a unix-like
environment rattled my cage in a productive direction.
For another project I had done a minimal Linux install to a flash
drive.
This time I'll do a much more complete install, specifically
maximizing networking capabilities. I'll not have "linux-like".
I'll have *LINUX*!
Sometimes seeing the obvious takes a while ;/
Thanks all.
