Plug in the cables and you have a network. Tell us what you want exactly and please, do some readings/searching on your own.

Hrm... an answer is like a question... no details
First you have to connect computers...
http://www.jimthompson.net/xphome/Two_Computers.htm (Option 1. Cross-over cable.)
http://www.kelsoconsultinggroup.com/pcguidebook/homenetwork.asp
Then you have to configure network...

And then... hmm... then... for example setup shares

Hehe... another hacker
I don't remember what exactly should you do in windows, but try to set next:
Gentoo box:
(net-setup or ifconfig...)
IP: 198.162.0.1
netmask: 255.255.255.0
Windows box:
(right click on Local Area Network, right click on your connection)
IP: 198.162.0.2
mask: 255.255.255.0
That's all... After that both machines should ping each other. They call it LAN

Hi there, i have a second problem that when i connect ot the internet i cant browse anything and this happens also if i browse through ip of the site { Not a DNS problem} so what it is the problem??

[merclude]

sounds like you need to setup NAT (network address translation) on whatever is connected to your modem (box/switch/whatever), essentially, this will share your internet connection..

Hi there, i figured what is the problem to the internet connection, when i was setting my network configuration i used this:
route add default gw 192.168.0.2
where 192.168.0.2 is my linux box ip

but when i connect to the internet through my linux box and afer connecting i use:
route add default gw ${my current internet ip}

it works and i can access internet,

so how can i avoid using my internet ip (which is dynamic) everytime i connect ot the internet.

for my network i will try to solve the problem later.
