This link, http://web.syr.edu/~jmwobus/comfaqs/lan-faq-list.html, is a
list of lan faqs and seems like a good starting point.

Also you might want to check out the Pendantic PPP Primer, over at
http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ppp/ppp.html.  It walks you step-by-step
on how to build a networked LAN.  Yes, it's designed for FreeBSD, but it
seems compherensive enough that you might get a lot of the basic concepts
down. 

good luck!
