i just recently purchased the damn small linux cd because i messed up my win 98 computer so i could still get to use it. its very easy to use linux on it since it doesnt interfere with the harddrive and i am loving it so far but my problems is that the main reason i wanted to use the computer was for internet purposes. i am using a router and before windows 98 stopped working, i was able to connect to the internet through it but with linux, the ethernet cable cannot be detected. how do i set it up inorder to connect to the net?

Hmm..

Can you open an xterminal window and type:

lspci | more

or just

lspci

and see if there is any information about a netowork card model number or manufacturer.  Also, if you own a computer that was completely built by the manufacturer (IE: Dell, HP, Compaq, Gateway, E-Machines, etc) then what is the manufacturer and model of the PC itself?

yes i typed that in but gosh.. there was jus a load of numbers with zeros on them and since its on another computer, i really dont feel like copying them down then having to type them here unless i really have to. but uumm  my computer manufacturer is   ( compaq Deskpro Ep/SB series) and my router model is
(LINKSYS WRT54G)   i dont kno if this helps or do i need to post what i got after typing in lspci it was something like this

0000:00:01.0 0604:8086:7181 (rev 03)
0000:00:0e.0 0780:11c1:048c (rev 02)
