It's a piece of cake--I do it all the time.
On the same LAN--as your machine are--you can find the Linux box by either
using it as your DNS server on the LAN, or putting an entry for it in the
XP boxes' 'hosts' file (%WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts). If you're
running a firewall on the Fedora box, you'll have to make sure it allows
connections. Then just use 'scp' to move files, 'ssh' or PuTTY to connect
for a console session.

the IP address of the target Fedora (or any Linux/Unix) system.

standard for SSH on the WAN side; it'll greatly reduce doorknob-rattling.
If you're using a hardware firewall appliance--some firewall appliances
allow port reassignment (e.g., "requests for port 2234 go to port 22 on IP
x.x.x.x"; others aren't that smart, so you'd have to change the listening
port on the Linux box.
