If you have to NIC's in your XP machine and you want to "share" your internet connection, you open up Network Connections. Then right click on your Internet connection (whichever NIC it is) and share that connection (I think through it's properties, then select "Share this internet connection"). It will make the other NIC a DHCP "server". So you enable your other machine to get addresses via DHCP. And reboot everything for the sake of brevity. So basically what happens is [Linux Box] --> NIC2 (dhcp) [WinXP Box] NIC1 (shared) ---> Internet Is this how you want it? I'm sorry if my "illustration" doesn't look easy to read. dex
