Question connecting Red Hat linux to the www through a router

Hello,
I need some help to connect Red Hat Linux 9 to the internet. I am running a dual boot machine (windows XP home and Red Hat Linux 9 Fedora Core) and i use a router to connect this machine (Windows OS only) and another Windows machine to the internet through a broadband connection. Does anyone know how I can connect Linux to the internet as well without making any drastic changes to this setup? Can I use the same connection, and if so, how do I set it up? Help would be appreciated.

Do you mean that you are connecting to a wireless connection?

If so, then check http://atmelwlandriver.sourceforge.net/usbtable.html to see if your wireless card is on that list. If so, then you will have to install the Atmel WLAN driver (available at the index of the same site), which requires a recompiling of the kernel.
