Host should be the name of the windows computer and domain should be the same one that you use on your linux box. Gateway should be the linux box. DNS should be Your ISP's. And you should disable WINS and DHCP. Unless you use them. Also check to make sure you not using a proxy for your windows box unless you really use one. -- B. L.

Host can be anything. Actually, nameserver configuration is probably the most important part. The winblows machines use the gateway address, which you got right, also they should have there own unique host on the same domain. Got it work to work through DSL and its sweet. Just wish the primary nameserver would work though. Matt On Sunday 12 November 2000 12:53, TRBishop wrote:
