They create artifical wormholes but how do they connect to the right gate and end up in the right place? i know about the dialing however these gates must be configured somehow and these configurations must be transmitted to other gates to let them know wheres where like the internet perhaps. another question; how does a gate on a ship work differently than one on land? its weird, it has no point of orgin so how does the gate know where it is in space and time? what if we transported the gate to an alternate reality; can we dial to it as well?

How are stargates connected to each other?

SGA's Adrift [4x1] tells us the stargate will only work if moving at a speed so the point of origin lies in the same place, so other than that, there's no difference between a land gate, space gate, nor a ship gate.
SG-1's Avenger 2.0 (some episode in season 7) tells us the gates contact each other for correlative updates, for changes in stellar drift. This is presumably done by subspace communications.
Daniel explains the wormhole addresses in the original film (and in SG'1s 200 [10x6]...), 6 points to a point in space, 7'th is the point of origin.
The wormhole would just represent a vector in a different dimension (subspace).
It wouldn't be curvy, unless the stargate does it to avoid events such as the K'Tau episode, SG'1s Red Sky [5x5]

also the planets of the loc'na'ko have different symbols

It's hard to say without rewatching the episode, but I think the Aschen had traveled to "nearby" planets, probably in neighboring solar systems.

The only way you could have more than 1 gate active in a system would be if there was some way of addressing this within each gate address. I don't think that the 6 points of reference would be accurate enough.

This revelation then let us to calculate that their planet could only be P4C-970
And that's all from memory
