Fixing XP to network properly

I have an XP Pro computer which I'm using as a gateway to the Internet and
as a client on a domestic server simply because the server doesn't have an
easy modem hang-up routine.

My problem is that the XP box won't talk to the server. The server's set up
fine. That runs SME server software thus only TCP/IP is available.

I can access the server using putty. I can ping the server and so on. I
cannot map the network drives. I can access the server via Internet Explorer
for ftp though.

I enclose my server ifconfig

[root@zeus root]# ifconfig -a
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:02:A5:2B:5F

And now the XP box with ipconfig /all

The XP box is running IPV6 (I don't know whether you had intended it
to do that or not), but I can't see in interface in the 192.168.40.0
network and it doesn't look as though you are mapping the IPV4
192.168.40.0 address into the IPV6 format (I think 192.168.40 would
show up as C0:A8:28, or something like that, in IPV6).

You say you can ping the server and putty to it, is that from the XP
box?

My guess is that there is a problem mapping drives because the
IPV6/IPV4 setup.
