plaes, when sending to this list, turn off HTML formating in your mail, it looks like this to a number of us, and some of the best folks here filter out HTML mail so they will never see your question. the commands you question are typed (as root) in a text console or term. do you use KDE? is there an icon that looks like a little square chalk board on the menu bar? if you click it does it bring up a window? can you type in that window? if so type (without the quotes) su (then you will be asked foa password. type in the root password, do not worry if you do not see anything reported to the screen, just hit enter when the pasword is complete. "will not connect to network" is pretty ambiguos, can you tell us exactly what you mean? is it that the cable can not be insearted in the network card connection? is it that in windows you do not see the linux box in "network neighborhood? is it that the linux box can not connect to the internet thrue the win XP box?
