I am looking for suggestions to make a fully functional linux Network? Any advice will be much appreciated, I am new to Linux and taking my first course.

Answer 1

Well, I can't see your pic, the link just goes to myspace.com but just like windows network they are all the same.

Basic hookup computer ----> router ---> intertnet
same for all computers on the network. The router will handle the local network.
If you dont want the internet
Computer -------> Switch
You will have to set IP's for each computer.
