At the moment I have set static IP addresses:<br />
<br />
address : &lt;address of Linux PC&gt;<br />
subnet mask 255.255.255.0<br />
default gateway: &lt;my XP server&gt;<br />
<br />
is this correct?

The problem was solved by a combination of both your responses, I eventually checked the win98 ,XP settings and everything is the same now and all work well.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Hi<br />
<br />
I have Linux Redhat 8 on a laptop and I have managed to connect it to my Windows XP server (I know I should have done it the other way around). My Linux laptop can see the shares on the XP machine. The problem is I want the Linux box to use the modem on the XP machine. The modem is shared o.k because I can connect with Windows 2000 and Win98 o.k. The network connection must be o.k because I can see the shared directories on the XP box.<br />
<br />
So how do I get my Linux box to use the modem on the XP machine?<br />
<br />
Any ideas would be welcome.

Connecting to the Internet via Shared Modem

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
