You could start the various servers on DSL. Say ftp and ssh.
Then you could use windows ftp to move files over. Or maybe windows pscp to scp files over. You could start the monkey webserver and windows could "download" files and ftp up files.
You could grab samba.dsl and share folders on windows and DSL could mount those folders.

I am not 100% sure yet but I think it is a cross over cable.

I set up the ip addresses of the 2 computers to
xxx.xxx.xxx.1 and
xxx.xxx.xxx.2

and opened dilo in box.2 and entered
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.1
and I got a page

so this leads me to believe that it is a cross over cable.

The priblem is that after I setup the ip addresses like this that i lose my dialup connection because I think that the system starts trying to use the eth0 as the default connection to the ibternet when it really should be using ppp0.

any Idea how to fix this?

If you lose ppp0 I would check out how you are setting up these devices. Which tool(s) are you using and in what order may make a difference. I would think it would work if you did the ppp0 and then manually entered via ifconfig command the eth0 setting and possibly a route command, then save it in /opt/bootlocal.sh. If you are using the netcardconfig script it is probably setting everything unaware of the existing ppp0 setup.

I managed to get it fixed with some gnome tools

guidedog: this allowed me to setup ip masquerading

genome network: I had to add a dialup connection to the network panel, otherwise it wouldnt have known that they were one
