Just switch on Internet Connection Sharing on the XP box. It will need the IP address set at 192.168.0.1 subnet 255.255.255.0 for that to work. Then on your LM box run the Control Center > Network and Internet > Connection wizard. Set your IP to say 192.168.0.2 (same subnet) and set the gateway to 192.168.0.1 You can enter the address of the primary DNS server at this point as well. If there are more DNS servers (secondary etc) the easiest way to add them is to edit /etc/resolv.conf and add more nameserver entries. That should get you up and running. cheers Brian
