From a quick search on the rockboc cygwin setup wiki I found that in order to build the manual you need: tetex-base and tetex-extra. (around 50MB) For the network thingy: Are you sure that your windows machine has all the right services on for networking. I had problems recognizing the linux machine because I have shut down most of windows services. To be sure if it is a windows issue you can download putty type debian and push open. After a while a terminal will pop up asking you to login.
