ICS with linux help


I have one computer running xp that is connected to a wireless network, and get's it's internet connection through AOL Cable from there. It has a NIC that is connected to a Linux laptop running Ubuntu using a crossover. I want my linux machine to be able to connect to the internet. Here's what I've done so far:

I tried using the ICS wizard on windows, but it changed some options that made it incapable of getting online with aol because it made IP and DNS static, and it must be dynamic for it to work. So I changed those two options back

I then used the Alternate Configuration option under the TCP/IP options to set a static IP. here's what "ipconfig" gives:

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Autoconfiguration IP Address. . . : 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1


I then, on my linux box, when to the Network settings in Gnome, and configured it so that I have:
IP address: 192.168.0.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway address: 192.168.0.1 <--- don't really know what this should be
or what it means

I now seem to have a connection, as both computers recognize it, but I can't get on the internet with the linux machine yet. I opened firefox and no go. any help would be great.

Your gateway setting is correct. Can you ping the Windows box from your Linux box? If so, take a look at /etc/resolv.conf and see if there's a DNS entry or not. If not, you'll probably need to add a nameserver there. If that still doesn't work, you have some kind of problem with your Windows XP "Router". The very best thing you can do is to go to WalMart and buy a Linksys router and run your network like that. You should be able to get one for like $35.
