Linux RedHat 8.0 , Internet Setup

I installed RedHat Linux 8.0 in my PC and it seems I can't connect to the Internet. How do you setup your connection? I tried to install the drivers for my ethernet but my friends say it shouldnt be necessary since Linux/Window Share the PC, different partitions of course.

Well, I tried installing it but I dont know if I did it right...
Here are the instructions:



Installation:

1. copy the source code fealnx.c to Linux,

2. compile the source code, the instruction for compiling the driver is
as follows:

#gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c fealnx.c

3. insert the driver as module,

#insmod fealnx.o

4. bind your card to an IP address

#ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} broadcast ${BROADCAST} netmask ${NETMASK}

5. add your card to IP routing table,

#route add -net ${NETWORK} netmask ${NETMADK} eth0

6. now, you should be able to ping local network.


ANy Ideas, I really want to get Internet working so I can start testing my PHP scripts on my own pc...

By the way, do I need to install MySQL and PHP or it comes installed with RedHat???
