ok, got home at last!
Here is the deal
The XP machine is 192.168.0.1 on the wired and 192.168.1.50 on the wireless.
Suse has 3 cards, #1 is plugged into the XP with crossover and working fine,
Suse gets internet and can ping the XP and it's all good.
How card #2 is 192.168.0.2 and is plugged into the XP2 with a crossover, but nothing happens.
The XP2 can't get any packets and can't get an IP.
I assigned the ip manually and after pinging the Suse for a while I got 3 packets, but that was it.
Suse recognizes the XP2 but says it's an Unreachable host.
XP2 picked up the right domain name (which is lenin.z) but no packets.
How here is some technical info:
ifconfig:

If you need more let me know
About replacing the XP wireless with linux, that'd be great if I could make wireless work on redhat
which is my other project that's been going for like 3 month!
If you could help me out with that it'd be even better.
Thanks for your time.
