Sounds like your TCP/IP is corrupt. Try removing, rebooting and re-insatlling the XP Network settings (Remove all protocols) then re-run DrakConnect to reset the network settings on the LinuxBox. I would switch the IP #s between them. IMHO, Linux should be 192.168.0.1... Good Luck, :====================================================:. Amichai Rotman The Jerusalem Linux Club - Founder.
