I have just clicked. The default route is being set to 192.168.0.1 sending me to me. I changed the default to paradise and it worked. I could both ping and access the internet. Now the question is - how do I set this so I don't have to go in and manually configure the routing table every time? There doesn't seem to be anything in the control centre...
I suppose the next question is how do I set up a proxy? The control centre just has two lines, and I can't work out what to put in there to "make a proxy". Any suggestions more than welcome.
Cheers
Anton

hi
below you will find the outputs from ifconfig and route. Sorry if I
was unclear, its pretty hard for a newbie to know what is and isnt' important...
cool, no sweat.
I have been playing around and the eth0:9 entry has now appeared. I have been having problems accessing the net since playing around but the good ol' restart seems to do wonders :-). The sit as it
stands is. Machine A has XP - mandrake 9.1 dual boot and is access pt
to net (the IP it was being assigned before was 192.168.1.1, but now i
don't know, below is different). Other machine is ME and has ip 198.168.0.163. It is working perfectly between XP and ME, i.e., file access to both machines from both machines and access from both
machines to net via the XP machine. 'dose pretty much took care of
everything. The hardware is OK. I tried using the Mandrake control
centre to get things working... and tried assigning the mdk machine
192.168.0.1 to get it on the same subnet (both seem to have 24 bit
masks). Unfortunately, things seem to have got a little complicated
and it didn't like me assigning an address statically. No pinging
seems to be possible, but that is not surprising, as I wouldn't have a
clue how to edit the routing table (its obviously no going anywhere
with those entries)!. I hope this is a little more informative.

eth0 (ethernet) has no IP address at all. use the mandrake tool to set it to something on the same subnet as the ME machine. you should then be able to ping the ME machine.

I think this address has been set because eth0 could not get an IP address. the 169.254 netblock is a "dummy" address for machines that can't autoconfigure an ip address (either from dhcp or from domething preset)

this route is as a result of eth0:9 (see comment above). report back if/when you manage to get eth0 with an ip address and pinging the ME machine :-)

ps I would love to rid my home of ME, but the wife would skin me if
your question is pretty unclear, its hard to get people to help if you cannot write clearly about your setup and problem.
I THINK from your question that you have a winxp/linux dual boot machine (A) which will connect to the net and which in xp will connect to the ME computer (B). You want to be able to connect to the net from the ME machine.
OK when A is in linux, what is its LAN IP address?
what is the win ME machines IP address?
can you ping from A to B or from B to A?
if you can't then you fundamentally need to get your LAN set up before you can consider sharing the internet.
As the B machine obviously has networking sorted, I suggect you work on the A. How did you set up the network card in linux and what are the results of the following commands (you may need to be root)
ifconfig route
Report back and we will try to help :-)
