Networking Help for an Absolute Beginner Please

[Thomas H. George,,,]

I need basic references to get started.

The problem: My daughter's company has instructed her to install DSL to facilitate working from home when she is on-call. She is a system manager for a complex Tandem computer network - i.e. a computer wiz who doesn't know or care beans about Windows or Debian.

At present our home has three standalone PC's and two internet service providers - mine using Debian, my daughter's using Windows (internet browsing and online banking) , and my grandsons' using Windows (homework and gaming). I am a retired physicist who likes to play with hardware and keeps everything running. Until now there was no need to network and I have paid no attention to the subject. Now I need to learn fast and make the necessary hardware decisions. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions.
