Qutub

If I am understanding you well, the GW of the XP box and the IP in eth1 are not the same... and they should

Hi!

The Eth1 GW: 192.5.1.1 and Xp box GW: 192.5.1.1 both are having the same. Any other Idea?

OR
the Firestarter arhives

Sounds like a FS issue to me (although im no expert)

Tomas generally gets on top of errors/issues quickly. He will certainly tell, you if its not FS soo enough.

Hi

That's your eth1 address, and your XP's gateway is, so you said, 192.5.1.1.

What's more, it would be nicer if you used private IP range on your LAN (192.168.0.0, 172.16.0.0, or 10.0.0.0 subnets are official private subnets, whereas 192.5.x.x is public and routable on Internet)... that wont work better, but that's the way people are supposed to do.
