i have a windows box 192.168.1.1 and a linux box 192.168.1.2 the internet is from my winbox so my windows box is the gate way. i can ping my windows from linux and vice versa but, mozilla wont connect to the web. i have tried this with my windows firewall off. any ideas? i dont know what to put for domain name. thanks

If you want to have your LInux box be the gateway, we could probably help you. You need to go find a forum that deals with mswindows.

Have you specified the DNS server on your Linux box? I had the same problem until I found the tab and all the DNS entries were empty... just specify the primary DNS server as 192.168.1.1
