Hi,
    The best way to learn networking capabilties of
Linux is start with "Networking Overview HOWTO" by
Daniel Lopez Ridrego<ridruejo@xxxxxxxxx> this document
will give you pointers for further information on
Linux Networking.

Also check out the Linux Network Administrator Guide
at LDP
 http:/MetaLab.unc.edu/mdw/linux.html

You can find some more links at
 http://www.linuxlinux.com/Networking/
