ok. Start netconf, choose "basic host informations", then fill in the
requested fields in "Host Name" and "Adaptator 1".
Once this is correctly done, you should be able to ping the nic on your
comp and also the one in the other comps of your network. Apparently, you
already have done that.
You don't need to set up neither a DNS nor a gateway, as long as you stay
on your local network. You could maybe fill your /etc/hosts to be able to
write "ping winhost" instead of "ping 192.168.0.2".
Now, all you have to do is to install and configure the servers and
clients that you need to communicate between your two comps. Usually,
people like to set up samba in order to be able to share files between a
win and a linux machine. Refer to the samba-HOWTO and to the docs
available at www.samba.org to do that.
