Usualy is relly easy... mmm ...

What kind of network card do you have?

Brand, model, PCI, ISA, USB...

What error message do you get? What do you try to do?

There's a meeting on the second thursday of each month. Usualy there's an 
announcement in the list. Sometimes is a day before, but... you can rely on a 
meeting every second thursday.

Absolutely.

Maybe, after you are done with the network card, you can start securing your 
PC. It's easier than you think.
