Hi,
no it is wired.
I saved the wireless stuff for my dos laptop.
The in theory meaning that Linux would just load network drivers even if
not installed on a machine with a network?
That makes sense actually. when we put the hard drive in, debian found or
basically at least, the hardware in the computer. I have a dec-talk
express for the Linux box, and all the modules loaded just fine.
We shall find out on Saturday then.
thanks, really!

In theory, it should already have drivers for your network
card and be configured to (1) notice that the network cable
has been plugged in, and (2) default to using DHCP to talk
to your router.
If not, there are additional diagnostics one can check to
ensure that you have a network card that Linux supports, and
that nobody configured the machine for a static IP address
in favor of a dynamic one. If it uses wireless rather than
wired connections, that is a whole other mess.
