The dns on the win xp box is not set. By the way, I use a wireless
internet (radio) and have no modem. I didn't have the dns set before
when both boxes were on xp. As for the pingin, I was pinging the isp
gateway ip and both nics on the linux box from the cmd prompt in
windows.
I just tried disabling the firewall and adding a dns on the xp box but
still no luck. Does the xp user have to have rights on the linux box?
