I also have a D-Link DFE-530TX installed on it.

I have another computer with Linux Redhat 8.0 with the SAME NIC installed, Its also Activated. I want to know How to get the Linux box to go online through this computer, I have them both networked I just dont know how to setup the linux box to connect to this computer..

Some help would be appericated.

windows xp should have an internet connection sharing thing?

try: run on machine with win xp router service and also edit the routing table on your linux box...

Well ive got both computers working now, just when trying to load somthing, like goto www.linuxquestions.com it says

The connect was refused when attempting to contact www.linuxquestions.com

What should I do in this case?
It does this for everything internet related.

it seems that the router on your win'xp doesn't work properly - it rejects all packets from linux box, coming to internet...

Is there a way I can disable it or change it in anyways...

Its odd tho, becuase I can setup FTP on this computer, and It can download/view all files I have made available. I transfered all my Mp3s onto the linux box through FTP.. But I cant connect to the Linux box from this computer.. its wierd..

Got any Ideas on this?

Thanks
