Hey, I'm rather new to Linux, and I was wondering if someone could give me a step-by-step walkthrough on connecting to a LAN network..its the only way i currently have access to internet, and i use a certain network on my WinXP O/S, and i want to use the same network with Linux... Thanks,

I'm using a flash drive...i installed it onto a 2Gig i have, following the instructions from pendrivelinux.com ... Im pretty sure that it recognizes and has drivers for the wireless card that i have, because it lets me scan for a signal, and i can pick up several networks, including the one from my neighbor, but it just doesnt connect...

Ive been trying different flavors lately, ive been following guides for installation from pendrivelinux.com ...at the moment im using Puppy Linux... the network is one that i connect to from home, and it is WPA secured, but i know the key (the network comes from my neighbor, and he gave me the key)... ive looked on google etc and i just cant seem to find a guide that actually seems to be talking about my problem in enough detail to where an old faithful WinXP user like myself can understand it... any help would be greatly appreciated... also, im also having trouble with Linux saving the settings when i save them...could you possibly also point me towards a wiki or something concerning that? Thanks for all the help!!
