| Right, I need to point out that I am a complete beginner when it comes to
networking with Red Hat, but wondered if someone could help.
First of all, Im trying to incorporate my linux machine into my already
existing network to share files and printers. Is this possible.
If it is, how can I access the internet on my linux machine through another
computer? Again, is this possible? Eventually I would like to have the linux
machine connected directly to the net, but at the moment, I wanna make do
with this option.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

You need to set up Samba on the linux machine. This will allow you to
share linux resources with your windows machines, and vice versa. Look
at /etc/samba/smb.conf. This is the samba configuration file, and
contains quit a lot of information about what you need to set up. On my
machine there is more documentation at /usr/share/doc/samba-2.2.5. It
isn't that hard once you get past the initial feeling of being
overwhelmed by configuration options. Start simply, and build it slowly.

If your other machine is set up as a proxy server, there should be no
problem. Select the browser you want, find its documentation, (probably
in /usr/share/doc) and go from there.

I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not
sure you realize that what you heard was not what I meant.
