Hi,
First off all! All the route,ifconfig place them in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1
(for slackware). 
Put those command in your rc.inet1 file:

ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

route add 127.0.0.1 lo
route add 192.168.10.1 eth0
route add -net 192.168.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
route add default gw 192.168.10.1

On the Windoze workstation use TCP/IP protocol from Micro$oft and set it
up like this:

IP address: 192.168.10.2
Netmask:  255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.0.1

DNS: hostname: amd  domain name: intnet.mu

to be able to access your server using it's name instead of it's ip you
must run a DNS server on your linux box!
Read the documentation that comes with the bind packages usualy in
/usr/doc/bindxxxxxx 

Cheers,
