OK your network is working.

You need to run a server on bigone.  If you run a HTTP server 
on bigone, then p100 can access it using links (or other browser).  
If you run a NFS server on bigone, then p100 can access it by
doing a network mount.  If you run a telnet server on bigone,
then p100 can access it using telnet.

The key is to run a server on bigone and configure it correctly.
Bigone is a SuSE machine, so I cannot provide step-by-step 
directions for it.  SuSE is quite different from Slackware and
has a different way of configurating things (which I do not
know).

I suggest you do "ps ax" on bigone and see if perhaps a HTTP, 
NFS or telnet server is already running.  If not, you will need
to find a way to start one (I recommend NFS).
