Yeah i realize the configuration is odd but i am planning to put a small
linux based firewall in soon, so for now i don't really want to change
it, since i will be changing it again in the near future. Yes i was also
mistaken it is a router not a switch. But like i said before i can ping
the router and the xp computer and even some sites but i can't
physically see them in a web browser. when i type in a site like
www.google.com it doesn't do anything in the browser and just displays
"done" in the bottom left hand corner, I have tried different web
browsers and my instant messenger program cant connect either. Maybe i
am just not understanding what you guys are saying. Also the internet
did work fine before i performed the first up2date. After that i have
been having these problems. It seems like some type of software or bug
issue to me but maybe i am wrong. Thanks for all the help.

This is very strange. The fact that you can ping sites but not get to
them via http is crazy.
Also your set-up really makes no sense to me.
I need you to be sure of some things before we can help you. You mention
that the Linux box goes "through" the Windows XP box.
Is this really true?
For example - is Internet Connection Sharing enabled on XP?
When you look at your network connections, does one of them say "shared"?
Could you also please provide the output of:
1> ipconfig /all on Windows.
2> ifconfig -a on Linux.
3> route -n on Linux.
4> Your router's IP address.

P.S. It sounds to me like up2date didn't mess this up at all, from what
you're been posting it looks like a very wrong set-up if I understand
you correctly, in which case I am surprised it worked at all.
