What am I missing? Turn on WinXP's Internet Connection Firewall and Internet Connection sharing on the external nic. Turning on ICS will establish a DHCP server on the internal nic. From there you have your linux system either pick up an IP via DHCP or set the static IP to something in whatever range WinXP is serving up and the default gateway to the IP of the XP systems internal nic. If you need help search for internet connection sharing and internet connection firewall in the XP help system. -- Mike Lyman <mlyman-linux@xxxxxxxxxxx>
