no, your problem is that your machines are on different subnets.. as a test, set your XP machine up to use IP 192.168.0.1 and your linux box to use 192.168.0.2 and your netmask to both as 255.255.255.0
then restart the networking on both, and try pinging,, it will work if your network cards are working. then fire up samba and see if they can see each other. if you have configured samba correctly, then they well. you currently have machines that are on completely different subnets, and worse, one is a private allocated range (can't be routed over the internet without NAT.) and the other isn't.. so you need to do something about that. I don't really understand why you see the need to do this, what is assigning the IP for the XP machine? and why isn't it also assigning one for the linux box? rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, 24 February 2002 3:32 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Linux and Win XP does the fact that one is dhcp and the other isnt have anything to do with it? ~Lance
