Have you looked at this:

http://www.slackware.com/config/network.php

And tried the slackware forums?

Master of Reality:
where is this SlackWare forum that you and Slackware.com speak of but dont link to?

voidmain:
I don't know, I just passed on what the Slackware page said.  Didn't "netconfig" help? What kind of network card do you have? Is it turned on in your kernel and do you have a kernel module for it?

Master of Reality:
no it kinda worked.
i got more problems too.
I ran netconfig and it found my network card. I set it up properly with the IP address being 192.168.0.4 and the gateway being 192.168.0.1 but it cant ping any other computers on my network for some reason.

I have two network cards in that computer but Linux woul only ever detect one of them. I switched the cable between the ethernet cards in case i had it hookedup to the wrong one but it still didnt work.

ifconfig doesnt show the subnet or IP of eth0 but it is in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1

my other problem is on another computer and i cant get the mouse properly configured.
I ran xf86config and there didnt seem to be any setting to choose for a USB mouse. I cant figure out how to get my USB mouse to work.

I haven't used Slackware since version 1 and 2 so... But I can tell you that the trouble-shooting is the same as any other distro using "ifconfig", "netstat -rn", "route" etc...
