    Hello to all

    Disclaimer: I'm a total beginner on this matter.

    I just installed a Vector Linux 4.3 distro on a rather old laptop
    (Compaq Presarion 150 AMD K6-2 300mhz with 96 MB RAM), and I wish to
    be able to establish a network with a brand new computer running under
    Windows XP. I want my old laptop to be able to have Internet access
    through the desktop computer.
    I understand the network must be configured in
    "etc/pcmcia/network.opts". Due to my lack of knowledge on this matter
    My questions are simple: could I have some samples of working
    "networks.opts" files? Is the "gateway" address supposed to be the
    same address as the one given to the desktop computer?

    Thnaks in advance for any help
