Hey, I'm new to Linux. I have a few questions about it. I run Slackware.
After the installation the Linux installation had problems with my old hardware (network card, sound card) so I removed them and Linux would start.
But now, I can't seem to use the network card in Linux because it's not installed. How do I install it? I suspect Linux had problems with the card because it's rather old. Do I need a new network card to work with Linux?
If not, please tell me how can I install it?
And how can I configure both my windows computer and linux computer to go in a network?
All I want is to set up the computers in a point to point network so I may give the Linux computer acces to internet (haven't got a clue how this works) and to be able to acces my linux box from my windows computer by Samba, putty and Webmin.
If there is any kind of online ebook or tutorial about setting up a network between a windows and linux computer please link it here for me.
But for now my most important question would be how can I install my old network card with Linux? I will find information about networking Linux and Windows eventually but it would be great if someone here would help me out.
