You really shouldn´t use 123.123.123.x addresses for your local network if you haven´t received that address from your ISP. To be on the safe side use the net 192.168.x.0 instead. This is a designated transfer network that´s definitely not routed on the Internet. A usable setup would be: Linux: IP 192.168.42.1, Mask 255.255.255.0, Broadcast 192.168.42.0, no DNS, no Gateway. Win/PC: IP 192.168.42.2, mask 255.255.255.0, Broadcast 192.168.42.0, no DNS, use LMHOSTS lookup, no Gateway. On the Linux machine, set /etc/resolv.conf to "order host,bind", then create a /etc/hosts file containing 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.42.1 linux 192.168.42.2 winpc Copy that file to c:\<windirecotry>\lmhosts or copy the lmhosts.sam file found there to lmhosts and edit it to use those numbers. This is assuming that you don´t have access to te Internet. Since all of your machines are on the same net, you really don´t need a Gateway. You also don´t need DNS lookup since you can maintain your hosts file pretty easily.
