networking
wich are the files i must configure to have full acess to the internet (this includes icq and irc) from my other computer that runs windows. I'm connected by lan NE2000 , and i run SuSe 6.1 in my main computer.
Depending on your distro:
-the IP address for a domain nameserver(dns)
-the telephone number to dial
-your login and password
-an IP address for your machine if the network you are connecting to isn't going to provide you a dynamic one
-whether or not you ISP usus an authentication method as PAP, CHAP or MS-CHAP. If so, you will need a secret to enable authentication. The secret will be a wrod or sequence of charaters.
Just some of the things you might need. Check system configuration of your distro version for any additional help.

check the linux documentation project at:

The Network Administration Guide should have all the info (and/or pointers to it) you need.
I've been playing with RedHat 6.0 and Mandrake 6.1; you'll probably need to change the etc/sysconfig/network file only.
Another useful one is /etc/hosts (I use this one because I'm lazy, so I can avoid typing whole addresses for some machines I use often)
Of course, now you don't even need to know the files :) use netcfg, linuxconf, or whatever nice interface your distro gives you for that :)
