What do you current use to configure networking in Linux? (You must
get to the Internet somehow...)
I have a router with ethernet connections from each machine. (Or
wireless, if the laptop is not wired in.)
The router connects to a cable modem, and off we go. It is even possible
to connect two machines to
the internet at once--one playing streaming audio from a radio station
in Texas, and one downloading
or uploading email, or Googling. Nobody ever told me it was impossible,
so I just do it. Or,
since all the machines are multi-tasking, it's possible to Google while
listening to music on the
same machine. (I normally use the main Linux machine for email and net
searching, and the
Win 7 machine for music, since its sound card is output to a hi-fi
system. If I want to do any
serious writing, I use the Windows machine with WordPerfect on it. No
M/S or M/S clone comes close.)
