Setting up DNS, or more specifically, allowing both computers to access each
other by hostname, may be simpler than setting up a server especially for
your particular situation. You may be fine to just edit the "hosts" file on
each machine.
In Windows 2000 you can do the following:
Open c:winntsystem32driversetchosts with your favorite text editor. Add
an entry with the IP address of the Red Hat 9 machine and a hostname.
In Linux:
You can edit the /etc/hosts file by going to a console session, and typing as
the root user, add your IP address and host names for both machines.
If you do want to install a simple DNS server on Linux you can investigate
this how-to.
