Newbiens, I'm trying to setup a small home network pc to pc type, no servers yet,(2 computers!) One runnin Mandrake 7.2 , and the other running Windows ME. My NIC in my linux box is working fine.(Intel EtherExpress PRO PCI) I've used Drakeconfig to setup the card for Internet connection sharing, and it said everything is ok, but I still can't get my win box and linux box to talk, My main goal is to be able to get my win box online thru my linux box. ( Running win programs like MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger etc.) What should I check for,? where should I go? win networking is simple, but I'm not a win person any more! so I depend on this group for support, and so far you have not let me down!!! Please be specific in your directions and not to tech.(if possible). I hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Gavin (Japan) [EMAIL PROTECTED] 24/7 365
