Hi, sorry to bother you - I'm a beginner.

I will try to put at  http://www.netaxs.com/~sisaac/winipcfg.jpg  
a screenshot of the   winipcfg  command output for this Win98 computer, 
called 'ASUS' .  The info is exactly the same for the other (Win98SE) 
computer connected via crossover cable, except that computer is called 
'AMD300'.

The Win98SE  computer, "AMD300", also has BasicLinux, and I wonder how to 
set it up so that it can at least recognize the "ASUS" via the connection?
And vice-versa, have the ASUS running Win98 be able to see files on the 
other computer when it's running BL.

I know somebody mentioned Samba, but please be patient with me;  can I just 
take little steps?

Below is the output of (I think)  ifconfig -a  on the AMD under BL.
Also part of the  netsetup  file
Also the bottom of the output from  dmesg

------------------
This is the part of the netsetup file that's not all commented out:

This is from  dmesg:
