The first two are virtual interfaces, so ignore them, look at the last one.

So providsing  you turned on internet connection sharing on the pc, all you habe to do is turn on DHCP on the amiga, and the windows box should nat to the amiga, the amiga should ask the windows box for configuration.

As for sharing files between the two, id recommend regular old ftp, it's the easiest ( in my oppinion, cause i'm used to ftp )

You will need an ftp daemon for windows, personally i use : http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/

Not sure about ftp client on the amiga though... I would guess that what ever software you installed on the amiga for tcp stack and ethernet driver came with some basic utilities like telnet/ftp/ping etc.

With file zilla you'll have to setup a user account and point it to a directory somewhere on the pc to share files.

Using ftp should be pretty straight forward if you know a little dos commands.

cd = change directory
cd .. go down
ls to list files
get to get a file
put to put a file

mget to get all the files in a dir
mput to put all the files in a dir

bin to set transfer to binary mode
hash to show hash ticks so you know the file is going through
prompt to disable prompt for file get/put ( use this with mget so it doesnt ask you if you really want to download each file, you will see what i mean )
