If by networking, you mean that you want to file share between the two, you can use smbclient on the DSL box to get to a windows share.  It's already in DSL.   Try:
Code Sample
smbclient //pc netbios name/sharename -Uusername passwd


The username and password are the ones that you set the shared folder up with.  

If you want to browse DSL folders from W**, you'll need to add the Samba extension.  Both smbclient and samba are well documented on the internet.  Good luck!

If you have a HDD install you can use the step-by-step howto I made.  I am still working on a frugal howto, but have been dead busy.  Check it out:

If you have a frugal install, I can walk you through the same proceedure.
