Hi people, sorry this has taken a day or 2 to get back to . I have now set the windows box 192.168.0.16 on the 255.255.255.0 subnet , whilst doing ifconfig I noticed that there were 2 ethernet devices shown on this machine which is bogus ,but it seems widows is trying to call the intermal modem eth0 ,so I disabled the modem and set the ip addy manually .ifconfig now shows eth0 set correctly but still no joy . it is still stumbling when detecting proxy settings . Etherape is now showing the lappy as localhost would this have somthing to do with it ?this is really getting to me as I have set this up before and it all worked like a charm first go using dhcp jason
