I have a question about network cards. I have 2 PC's that I want to network- one Win98 (for family use) and my own Linux 6.3. The Linux PC is connected to the internet by a DSL connection and 2 NIC's an NE 2000 compatble card, and a realtek PCI 8139 card.  Where is the best documentation on setting up my home network?

And finally- 6.3 detected both network cards but I only see the link light on one card, the NE. I can see eth0 and eth1 startup at boot, but can only use on to connect to my DSL NE 2000- do I have to do anything special with this PCI NIC to make it work.

 

Thanks for all the help-
