First answer: http://sourceforge.net/projects/vb4linux/
maybe this one also http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/articles/...sual_Basic.pdf

Those might help a little.

The second answer is a little more complicated. When you say access do you mean to access the files on a drive? Use Samba. You can also remote control the windows box from the linux box using RealVNC.

Does that work for you?

thanks for the info KorpDeath! i will definatly download samba but i dont get the remote control for windows thing. does that mean i can control windows while in linux?

Yes, and vice versa. It's the equivalent of PCAnywhere. VNC, although unencrypted, is a very nice remote control program, and the best part of it is that it's free.

I can't think of the name of the encryption program but it's hosted on linux. It acts as a gateway for secure communication.
