However what the article does is to network and fileshare XP and Linux, whilst all I want to do is share the internet interface and NOT fileshare. What frustartes me is the ease with which the setup I had 'disappeared' and now getting it reconnected is being a pain.

Re: small network problem
Hey Keith- You might check /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward and make sure it is set to 1 (cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward). Sometimes automated (anti)intelligent agents like to fiddle with system parameters. If no forward, no workie :) This happened to me a while back where the firewall script that I ran kept getting whacked by a built in system agent happily whacked my ip_forward-ing.

The question was rather a hurried one. However to clarify: My unit is upstairs and has both OS's on, also has the USB/Eth cable modem installed. Her unit is downstairs and has XP only. I want to check to see which unit it is thats palaying up, but if I reboot mine it fixes the problem. Have not as yet tried it in XP/XP combo either for any lenght of time. Lastly does it happen if left connected or does it happen only if she closes down ? Am out most of this morning but will experiment later today and find out some answers. -- Keith Antoine (GANDALF) aka 'SKIPPY' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061, Australia:: PH:61733002161 Practising Geriatric, Retired Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

I had knew that would fix the problem as I have used that to fix other peoples network problems I the past. However they were customers, grin, who could afford the outlay. I am in a position whereby daughter is finishing Uni in a couple of months, graduating, as a teacher. She has more than a 50/50 chance of going having to leave home again and go bush. As most students here have to repay the Govt the cost of Uni, thyey, the Govt, can send them anywhere within Qld. This means up to 3000 km away to teach. This does not warrant the purchase of a router, hence I need a cheap work around. -- Keith Antoine (GANDALF) aka 'SKIPPY' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061, Australia:: PH:61733002161 Practising Geriatric, Retired Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
