Thank you very much Jim,
I wanna use linux for my internet connection too. But I have not been know
linux enough yet. (And the machine i installed redhat 7.1 isn't fixed in my
office.) So until i learn linux enough i must use win2000 for internet
connection.
Well, i'm looking for how-to documents on internet. I want you know that i'm
a new member of linux RedHat family. And i wanna learn linux fast as
possible as.
If you can explanation of my question, (how can i connect to internet
through win200 pro.) please tell me. I have a ethernet card, and i'm using a
hub for together link my machines.
Thanks again.
