Please accept that we don't like to do hand-holding through every single step. Use Google and forum search when you encounter things unknown to you. Not wanting to annoy you, but it's a bit frustrating to put other people through this when they are simply not ready.
Believe me, I appreciate how frustrating hand holding can be, and again, I appreciate the help. But if you'll look at my original post, I didn't ask to have my hand held, I simply asked whether there was a beginner's guide, and if there was if someone could direct me there. As it turns out there is not. I probably would have left the issue alone if someone had just told me "No, what you're looking for doesn't exist." That did not happen, and someone (as well as yourself) did offer me some help, and I took it.

Further, no where in all of my search on here, the wiki or google has it said that using USB networking creates a new network interface on my computer which is what I need to configure in this situation. I'm sorry if maybe that seems elementary or obvious to you, but there's no way someone inexperienced would have any reason to assume that would be what would happen.

If there isn't enough help in this topic topic for me to go on, then I'll just leave the matter alone as I don't wish to further frustrate you or anyone else. Thank you again, I'll report back here if I'm successful.
