To make things even easier than ICS why don't you use a proxy server? Analog-x proxy is free and very simple. 1. configure fixed IP's on each pc. 2. check that they can ping each other 3. install analog x proxy on your windows pc (with the internet connection) 4. check that your windows pc is connected to the internet. 3. configure your browser on the linux pc to use the proxy on the windows pc. Done. Don't try and use another DHCP server with ICS, I think that someone on this list has already said this but to re-iterate ICS is a simple piece of software, there is no configuration and you have virtually no flexibility to configure options. -----Original Message----- From: wlug-bounces(a)list.waikato.ac.nz [mailto:wlug-bounces(a)list.waikato.ac.nz] On Behalf Of Bruce Kingsbury Sent: Tuesday, 27 July 2010 7:55 a.m. To: Waikato Linux Users Group Subject: Re: [wlug] output The default ICS settings should have given the windows box an IP of 192.168.0.1 (from memory) and the linux box something in the same range eg 192.168.0.2 Did you install a DHCP server on the Linux machine at any time? One way to find out is unplug the Windows box temporarily and run the command "sudo dhclient eth0" in a terminal on Ubuntu. It should time out. If it gets a lease you have another DHCP server running, which is going to totally confuse things. On 27 July 2010 03:05, Glenn Morrissey <gmorrissey(a)kol.co.nz> wrote:

When I type in:

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.
