old-school

[Rickey Moore]

I used to collect computers by the score, now  through the miracle of Yoga Meditation, I have lost all desire to  acquire more than just one working Linux box... instead of losing the  desire to eat meat. Geek Yoga... go figure. <g>

  I'll go back to the basics and try what you have suggested... I'm naive  ( and lazy) enough to think that some little GUI will just up and do  this stuff for me, kinda like it happens in that other OS world. It  could happen one day, ya know... just not today. <waves hand> "My  name is Ric, and I'm a GUI addict..." <hangs head dismally>

ping 127.0.0.1    # can I talk to my IP stack
ifconfig -a       # get my IP addr
ping myipaddr     # Can I talk to myself
ping the windows box
ping the default gateway.
ping the DNS IP addresses you have.

That should provide some clues.
You might want to hang onto the hub, Most DSL routers only
handle 4 or 8 ports.  When you get more computers than that,
the hub will come in handy.
