slack-win2003server-slack - networking or notworking?

[operator]

hello every one,

prettty excited - eventually I accomplished my mission which was that of building a substantially powerful server/box and personally assembling every single components that I, of course, chose carefully - but I think I wasnt carefull enough to choose linux compatible components - anyway I have the following problems -
1) slack10.2 wont work as high resolution, 1024x768, on a 15" flat screen - the
screen is a Sony CPD-M151 bought on e-bay, however I noticed that it
works at 73Hz only (according to slack control center) - I had a look
at /etc/X11/xorg.conf for screen resolution etc... but nothing, so I 'm
wondering now if there is any chances to get slack to marry this 73Hz
working-frequency screen (by the way is that american standard frequency?)
- the graphic car is a, of course, brand new nVidia 128Mb
2) I connected the the server/box to a permanently connected router which also
works as a normal access point but nothing would happen, and wont even let
me go online (....done all the netconfig stuff, ifconfig etc....) - something tells
me that the motherboard need to be installed some drivers (dual
motherboard= intel MS440GX with two PentiumIII XEON)

I will wait a little longer for samba setting as the final network will be: the brand new box (just built) running slack10.2 and a dual boot laptop running slack10.2 and windows 2003 server - google wasnt much helpful so I came here

ok guys, i'm sorry - i sorted the connection problem - I must have been really tired last night cos all i needed to do was open an extra channel on the router - anyway now that i have both machine on the same network... how can i get to see each other? -

still havent figured out the screen resolution bit yet - been thinking whether or not installing windows first and all the hardware drivers will make a change

any suggestion appreciated!
thanx
