Something is fishy there. But let's forget that then and try (yet 
another) way of connecting computers.
On the ubuntu machine:
1) open a terminal. If you know how, fine, else, press Alt-F2, a box 
should appear, type in "xterm" there and hit the enter button.
2) inside the terminal, run this command
/sbin/ifconfig
It should spit out some lines, in front something like
eth0  yada yada ....
       inet addr:<IP-Address>
The IP-Address should be something like 192.168.0.1 or 10.0.0.1 or so.
3) note the IP-Address down on a piece of paper
4) run this command:
netstat -tlpn
again, some lines get spit out. Look for a line where it says 22 in the 
4.th column, under "Local Address". If you see a line, fine, else run 
this command
sudo aptitude install openssh-server
Enter your normal user password when it prompts for a password.


On your windows machine:
1) download putty, from here:
http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe
2) run the program
3) In the line where it says "Host name" enter the written down IP-Address
4) Either hit Enter or click "open" at the bottom of the window
5) a black window opens
6) if you get prompted for a user (login as:) enter your user name on 
the ubuntu box, hit enter and do the same with the password.

You can now copy-paste stuff from windows to linux by doing this:
1) On the windows machine, in the webmail-thing: copy a line
2) bring the black putty window to the front and push the right mouse 
button in there. It should paste the copied stuff.

Mind you, you cannot run xoscope like this, because they don't work on a 
command line (like you have in that putty window). But Ben's command 
(dpkg ...) works in there.


By the way: you _should_ be able to copy-paste stuff in ubuntu like in 
windows if you use the "long" way: mark the text you want to copy and 
press the right mouse button on that and select "copy" from the menu. 
Pasting in (most) terminals should work the same, right mouse button in 
the window where you normally type and select "paste"

Hope this helps,
regards
