The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

What Hardware is Needed?? (Setup Linux + Win98 DSL network)

Asked by screwdriver in Linux Networking

Tags: dsl

I've just got an earthlink DSL running with Win98. The DSL modem that Earthlink provided has 2 connections on the back. One that goes to the phone line, the other goes to 10/100 on my port replicator.

I have another desktop computer that has a 10/100 LAN card (it's linux compatible, but never tried it).
It doesn't have any OS at this moment, but I plan to install SUSE 7.1 when it has been released.

I want:
My linux machine can share the DSL connection with my Win98 machine.
My linux machine can access my win98 machine's files and vice versa
Both machines can share a printer (NEC Superscript laser 1400)
 
Since I am very new w/ networking stuff, I want to know what other hardware I might need to buy?
Hub?  Is there a hub with very few ethernet jack? Just curious because I never saw one. I always saw a hub that can connect 5 to 10 computers. I only need to connect 3 computers at most.
Cable?
Any recommendation which brand, where to buy? How much will it cost?
And I also need to know the step by step of the installation.

Thanks.
