Mandrake and Windows XP networking
I have a main computer which is running windows xp and has my internet connection. I also have my laptop which is running mandrake 9.0. I am completely new to lunix and was wondering how to network the two together so i can share my modem (can't afford broadband yet) In windows xp there were no drivers for my network card on the laptop that is why i decided to try Lunix and Mandrake 9.0 was the easiest to get hold of. Eventually i want both computers to be running just lunix as i have found it to be pretty cool.

Any help on my network problem would be greatly appreciated.

cheers
