Your linux virtual PC is a seperate computer for all accounts. If you want it to be able to access the internet through another computer, you have to set the other computer as a router. In this case, a masquerading router, as you will not expost it to the rest of the world. This means that you have to set your windows machine for "connection sharing". This is really off-topic for this list. BTW: I may be mistaking, mut I believe that Bezeq's ADSL equipment is [badly] configured by default to use the whole 10.x.x.x network, and thus placing your virtual PC on such an address is probably not a good idea, and you probably need to use another range (e.g: 192.168.0.x) -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
