Very Computer

I'm a newbie in linux.
but i'm pretty good in Msdos&Windoze.
I've just bought SuSE 5.1 & Redhat 5.
I've got different kinds of problems:
My machine with linux:
    -Pentium MMX 200,
    -64 SDRAM
    -1,7Go HD
    -SoundCard AWE64: Adr: 220h, IRQ: 5, DMA8: 1,DMA16: 5
    -Videocard: Diamond 3D 2000 4Mo.
    - Netcard: Realtek NE2000 compatible, PCI card: Adr: 0x6500h, IRQ: 9
    - Screen: IIayama 21"
    - Printer: HP 520 b&w
Two other machine on WIN95, working on network.
1)- In SuSE, I want to use sound. I've got an AWE64. I tried to use the
Kernel Compile Progz in X. I fill every thing i want. then he start working
alone, and then nothing. he stop, he say something in german, i press enter.
and that's all. HELP HELP
2-) Still in SuSE, i can't use the Network. In the Installation, i have to
configure my NETcard manually, and then he says that he can't start the net
modules without problem. But when i reboot the machine, it stucks at the
netcard initialisation.  so help help..!!!!
3-) This time it's with the REDHAT, In fact, every thing seems to work well.
even my netcard. But my Problem, is how can i use the network. i have 2
others machines witch are in WIN95, i would like to share the files on each
machine. so how can i access to the win95 harddisks from linux, and from
Win95, the harddisk of linux. (also the printers..)
4-) When I install the REDHAT normally, I can't use all the progz, like the
games (doom) witch are in the Redhat packages. I've found out that I can use
them by using the command:
Example:    " bash rundoom"  to run doom
On SuSE, i dont have that problem, that Progz work quiet fine..
HELP HELP....
5-) How can i use internet????
6-) how can i use the TAR progz, i've got some file in TAR format, but i
don't know how to extract them... ???
7-) Is there something like Truespace on linux....??
