I can hit the internet with my Apple G3 laptop(10.2os), I can hit the internet with other windows machines, but I can't seem to get the Linux machine to play well with others. I have tried to use the command route without success. I have told my eth0 to use 192.168.0.1 as the gateway without success. I can see all the other computers on the network and ping them and they can see me. Please advise.
Also try pinging your gateway (192.168.0.1). If you can do that OK, ping a host on the Internet by IP address (not name). If you can do that, then you don't have your DNS servers set.
BTW are you using DHCP on the network -- if so, you'll need to configure your ethernet adapter to use DHCP and if everything is set properly this all should be set up automatically.

/sbin/ifconfig -a
/sbin/route
it told me that I was pointing to my Other XP machine, the gateway status said:
