Hi Newbie I use cable modem with @ home cable you need a network card I would opt for 3 com pci card. You need to get the settings from installer Network address IP ADDRESS SUBNET MASK GATEWAY/ROUTER HOST: DNS/ NAME SERVER 1 DNS NAME SERVER 2 DOMAIN THIS WILL BE MAIL SERVER
LM 8.1 WILL FIND YOUR NETWORK CARD AND YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO MUCH TROUBLE SETTING UP YOUR NETWORK. Good Luck and sorry for the caps. Harry
