I am a n00b here so bare with me.
I got it installed fine and it detected all my hardware.
3 problems, when I boot up it uses grub (and i like it) but is there a way I can also boot up windows, like I select linux.
Second problem, it doesnt detect nor can I select my network card (its built in on to my mother board and it detects it but the network part it doesn't I have a nforce 2)
Third problem is there a way i can share my computer threw a network useing linux and while other cpus are running windows and get internet network connection shareing because my main CPU has no internet.

LOL

on grub i have redhat 9.0 and dos....
so i selected dos an wah la windows xp

You can change your boot options. I'm at work with no linux in the house, but I'm sure someone here will nail it down for you or you can look around the menu for tools/boot or soemthing. Anyways there youll the boot options with redhat linux (default) and dos (windows). You can edit dos to become your default (if you want) and you can change the name to WindowsXP or what ever you want. It's pretty easy, I just can't remember exactly where to go, Im a noobie also .

Hola Army Moose... glad you took my advice.

Now, your little grub problem. I wrote a How To edit grub. You can find it at http://members.cox.net/greyfoxlsu/linux/editgrub.shtml . Hopefull that will help

What's your LAN like? (That kinda sounds like a pickup line )

I don't know about the nForce-stuff, but my eth-device is also built into the motherboard, and it works great... But then again, I'm running a Intel system.. jk.

If you're using a router with a DHCP server, you should have some DHCP client software on your computer. If you're using a router without DHCP, hub or switch, you could:
a) Set up a DHCP server on one of the computers
assign IP adresses manualy

If you want to share internet access with your LAN, the computer with the internet connection should be set up with some routing software.

It is all setup and running perfectly on windows (heheh).
My lan is like this, i have a router for 2 computers and then i have a ethernet cable running downstairs too mine which is going into another router which connects to 2 other computers (not sure if this is what you ment) and the ip address's should be fine it just doesnt detect my ethernet whic is reall pissing me off.


I am really new to linux other wise i am advanced user for everything else.

The driver for NForce2 Network is proprietary. You need to go to http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_nforce_...e_1.0-0261.html to download the kernel.

You can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to change the dos tag on your bootloader to windows - it's merely a cosmetic change however.

Like DragonMage said, you need to download the rpm's from nvidias website to get your nforce2 nic going. I'm not sure if they'll have the correct rpm for your kernel so you may have to build a binary from the src rpm.
