Hi, first post
Hope i posted this in the right section, sorry if i didnt.

I have just installed my first linux os (mandrake) on my laptop and everything works ok except my internet/network. I have a 2 computer network with a linksys router on my desktop and a notebook adapter on my laptop. Now, when i try to access the internet it just says 'unknown host'. Where do i enter the channel of the router and stuff?

If thats not enough info then let me know...
lol and sorry if that doesnt really make sense or its a really dumb question, im VERY new to linux...
