and that there is no way I understand what all the NetBSD, NTFS, FAT or FAT32, PARTITION MAGIC, Unix, SuSE and Ubuntu, graphical interface, sparse and cryptic, GUI, ifconfig em0 10.3.1.3, and the last 1 shell users, really mean when it comes to computer talk.

hiya all,
Wish I knew how things worked on computers. Like setting up a network for my house.
I got the router and I think the right card for my wife's computer. But everything I try can't make the card work for her computer. Maybe the book I got off ebay will help me set it up; Networking Home PCs for Dummies, cause I sure I'm dumb when it comes to it. TYVM all for your time.

I told this board right off the bat that I was a computer dummy. And then I see replies like,
Unless you have Windows XP on all PCs involved (the "OS for dummies", I suppose, although it's not a disgrace for all others to use as well!) then, yes, it is somewhat cumbersome to set up a nice wireless network. I don't understand what that means at all sorry. And then I also see things like, NetBSD, NTFS, FAT or FAT32, PARTITION MAGIC, Unix, SuSE and Ubuntu, graphical interface, sparse and cryptic, GUI, ifconfig em0 10.3.1.3, and the last 1 shell users. Which I have no way of knowing what people are talking about.
When I did take any classes in school, all the books would do is talk u step by step. And when I say school I mean Community College. When I say computer dumb I'm talking like a kid in grade school, don't know schmit.
All I was trying to do here was see if anyone could help me via PM or even on the phone (I have cell phone), and maybe talk me thou how to set up a network. Again TYVM for the time and any help.

Well let’s see where to start. Here goes, we got a router it's a netgear MR814. And our mean computer which is the one I'm using now, we ran a wire to router and I can get on line just fine it runs XP. But we got my wife a computer that runs ME and we bought a card for it and thought we could get it to work but we can't seem to get it to work. So we put back the card that was in it and tried to run a cable to it, just like we did my computer.
1. But it still does not work. So now I just don't know what to do or try to get my wife's computer so we can make it be able to get on line. Oh we get our internet thou our cable company. I think it makes it a DSL. I don't know if this helps tell people what I'm trying to do but, I hope it helps tell someone what we are trying to do. But if not then guess I may have to just give up hope and that is a sad thing.

I'M A REAL DUMMY WHEN IT COMES TO COMPUTERS. AND DON'T KNOW A DANG THING WHEN IT COMES TO COMPUTERS. SO GUESS ITS TIME FOR ME TO GO. DUMMY MEANS LIKE 2+2=294 LOL. THANKS FOR TRYING.

SORRY to everyone for getting so upset, but I thought I did make myself clear. But again guess when you’re a dummy like I am when it comes to computers you just doesn’t know how to make it clear.

Yes ROSE, I was way out of line with that comment. SORRY it was not the right thing to do. To take out my anger on everyone. :o(

Now the guards for this board say, that it's time for me to stay in my corner and don't come back out. Cause you have talked too much. And you don't know what you are doing out on a computer board talking in the first place. lol Hope all can forgive me but, sometimes a person can just lose their head over little things.
TYVM everyone for understanding (I hope).
:o)
