Like the subject says, I still can't get my

This link seemed to be a step-by-step howto:
http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/usersguide/linux_ugbasicnet.html

so I tried using it.

I worked out in an earlier exchange here
that Linux loads the '8139too' module on
startup. I picked 255.255.252.0 as
netmask because that's what 'winipcfg' has
for subnet mask on the Windows box. Likewise
'70.64.4.1' for default gateway.

Please take just one hour class about tcpip networking basics, like
http://www.networkcomputing.com/netdesign/ip101.html
this one.
Do NOT mix a local network with the ISP connection.
Since you probably got only one IP from your ISP ("single account"), you
need a 2nd interface for the LAN. That interface may be a virtual one, but
it's far better to spend a few bucks for a 2nd nic - or use a residential
gateway router with NAT built-in, and a knowledgeable person to configure
it for you.
