Correct, something's still not quite right here, the gateway for your
Windows box ought to be something out towards the interweb, not back in
to your network. Your linux box definitely isn't going to get out
until this bit is sorted.
What do you get when you run ipconfig /all on your Windows box? As
others have suggested you should be seeing your ethernet connection as
192.168.0.1 being the (non-configurable iirc) value set by ICS, and
then your linux box will have default gateway of 192.168.0.1, eth0 will
be 192.168.0.2 (or .3 now?) as assigned by ICS, and until you get to
this point it ain't gonna go.
Triple check you have ICS turned on?
And I presume (though that can be unwise so can you confirm) that you
are able to generally browse the net from this Windows box?
Cheers,
Roger
Interesting
question: why when I run ifconfig in Windows does the IPv4 default
gateway show as my Linux box's IP address??? That's surely not right.
And when I have my network plugged in sometimes my mail fails to send,
as in cant reach server. I wonder if the windows box is looking at the
Linux box as a server. I can't imagine why though.
What ever it is its playing mary hell with my dialup connection.
Glenn.
