Please offer assistance


Hello all linux pro's, My name is Jerry, the n00b to Suse 9 and linux in general.

Let me explain my computer situation
1st system: Connects to the internet via Dial-up...connected to router via Ethernet cable, Windows XP Operating system. Would be considered "host" computer.
2nd system: Suse 9, brand new install (installed all packages possible, checked dependencies, A-ok) It has a Motorola Wi-Fi/Wireless-G PCI card in it.

The problem: I have no clue how to network the two computers, which in-turn means i have no idea how to access the internet with the linux machine, through the XP machine.

I need the best step-by-step someone can offer. The motorla card is brand new and i figured it would work.

I have the card in the linux machine, but i'm not even sure i have it configured correctly. Also, I have no clue what WEP, ESSID and all of that is, it's greek to me.

thanks
