Connect linux to XP internet connection sharing

scobal · 06-03-2005, 05:29 PM

Hi. I'm having problems connecting my slackware 10.1 to the internet. I have an XP machine setup with connection sharing, with both machines connected to a hub.

I seem to be able to get my slakcware machine an IP address using DHCP but i cant ping any sites. Loopback is working. I have tried disabling my firewall on the XP machine but no luck.

Any help would be great,

Thanks, Mark

/etc/resolv.conf
Add your DNS inside like this:
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
