I just wanted to let everyone know that I finally solved the internet connection problem I was having with my Linux box and Linksys router. I appreciate all the suggestions everyone gave me.
I changed the NIC to another PCI slot that I had skipped. Either the PCI slots are read in sequence, or the PCI slot my NIC was occupying was damaged. Nevertheless, my XP desktop box, my XP laptop box, and my RH Linux box are all connected and working. I'm now trying to use Samba to access the shared files in my XP boxes from my Linux box. My XP boxes are talking to each other and sharing printers without problems. My challenge is to do the same with my Linux box. All I can currently do with my Linux box connection is connect to the internet via router to cable modem. Can anyone tell me how Nautilus is used to see shared files in my XP boxes from my Linux box? I'm currently reading up on Samba, but someone told me that I could use Nautilus to read shared Windows files. Do I still have to start Samba in order to use Nautilus? Nautilus looks like a browser to me; however, I don't know how to locate directories and files that are in my XP boxes on the network using Nautilus from my Linux box.
