below you will find the outputs from ifconfig and route. Sorry if I was unclear, its pretty hard for a newbie to know what is and isnt' important... I have been playing around and the eth0:9 entry has now appeared. I have been having problems accessing the net since playing around but the good ol' restart seems to do wonders :-). The sit as it stands is. Machine A has XP - mandrake 9.1 dual boot and is access pt to net (the IP it was being assigned before was 192.168.1.1, but now i don't know, below is different). Other machine is ME and has ip 198.168.0.163. It is working perfectly between XP and ME, i.e., file access to both machines from both machines and access from both machines to net via the XP machine. 'dose pretty much took care of everything. The hardware is OK. I tried using the Mandrake control centre to get things working... and tried assigning the mdk machine 192.168.0.1 to get it on the same subnet (both seem to have 24 bit masks). Unfortunately, things seem to have got a little complicated and it didn't like me assigning an address statically. No pinging seems to be possible, but that is not surprising, as I wouldn't have a clue how to edit the routing table (its obviously no going anywhere with those entries)!. I hope this is a little more informative.
Cheers
Anton

(xp + mandrake9.1 on the box) linux so my wife can connect to the
internet with her ME via me (sorry, that was bad :-). It's a std

ps I would love to rid my home of ME, but the wife would skin me if I put Linux on her box... she isn't a devotee yet... :-)
your question is pretty unclear, its hard to get people to help if you cannot write clearly about your setup and problem.
I THINK from your question that you have a winxp/linux dual boot machine (A) which will connect to the net and which in xp will connect to the ME computer (B). You want to be able to connect to the net from the ME machine.
OK when A is in linux, what is its LAN IP address?
what is the win ME machines IP address?
can you ping from A to B or from B to A?
if you can't then you fundamentally need to get your LAN set up before you can consider sharing the internet.
As the B machine obviously has networking sorted, I suggect you work on the A. How did you set up the network card in linux and what are the results of the following commands (you may need to be root)
ifconfig route
Report back and we will try to help :-)
