I recently purchased a LinkSys Workgroup 5-port hub. I am a Linux Newbie, and really need help. One computer has Windows Me and the other has Linux RedHat 8.0. I hooked both up to the hub. I have a 56k connection to the internet. I don't want internet connection sharing, just file sharing, and possibly be able to play games (not neccessary). I need step by step instructions PLEASE because I am such a newbie, I know you enter most commands in the Konsole, but I am not sure if that is where you enter all of them. Please help, I have been trying for 3 days every minute that I am home to no avail.

Wow, your asking alot and in the wrong way. Here's a few docs that might help you out.
