network problems

Here I am again, with another (silly) question.
As I wrote some days ago I want to start a network with my Pentium II (SuSE Linux 6.2) and my 386 (muLinux). I installed my networkcards on both computers and so I thought everything should work. When I try to ping from muLinux to my Windows (also installed on the Pentium II) everything works. But when I try to ping between my muLinux and SuSE no packet arrives. A friend of mine told me that I should look in the route.conf-file. But muLinux doesn't have such an file and so I do not know what to do further.

I would be happy if anybody can help me with this problem?

Here are the results of the ifconfig-command of both machines (perhaps they help to solve the problem):

386:
