Redhat 9 and winxp networking

Hi!

I have installed a pcmcia card in a my notebook running xp. Its showing
100% connectivity with the Access point. I have a desktop running rh 9.
It is hooked up with the access point ethernet straight cable. What I
want to ask is, will the settings (ip address, subnet mask, dns,
workgroup name and computer name)on rh 9 be the same as those on the xp
notebook.

Thanx

Fahad

That obviously depends on how you set them up.
Generally, the answer would be either:
no, not if they are connected at the same time, or
yes, but then it wouldn't actually work, now, would it ?
