Not exactly a guru, but I can bluff my way through the average home or
office linux network. There is absolutely mountains of programs and
documentation in your Red Hat installation to do with ethernet, modems,
TCP, telnet, ftp, etc. etc.  A pretty comprehensive source of information
is the Linux Network Administrators Guide. This may be installed on your
system - on my copy of RedHat 6.2 it is in /usr/doc/LDP/nag - if not, then
you can get it from en.tldp.org along with loads of other guides and
HOW-TO's. For connecting Linux and Windows machines you need the various
tools in the Samba package - type "rpm -qd samba" to get a list of the
various guides and manual pages for Samba on your machine.
