Hey Jeff
you'r a gem. Must buy you a beer.
There is something fishy in Linux because I can ping 192.168.0.1 (The
XP Box) from terminal but I cant from the ping tab in network tools.
It just doesnt want to ping. It wont even ping itself (192.168.0.2).
Very strange. Yet, I can ping 192.168.0.2 from XP.
I have visited: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306126 about internet
connection shaing in XP and it seems like im doing it right.
And yet under connection information in Linux my connection settings are:
General
Interface: Ethernet (eth0)
Hardware address: 00:1F:C6:ED:C2:10
Driver atl2
Speed: 100 Mb/s
Security: none
IPv4
IP Address: 192.168.0.2
Broadcast Address: 192.168.0.255
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Route: 192.168.0.1
IPv6
Ignored.
I even disabled the firewall in XP, so that shouldnt be in the way.
Like I said, I can ping 192.168.0.1 from terminal, but cant ping
yahoo.com or anything else.
Something strange going on.
Glenn.
