Wally, I have a similar situation, but with LM on the notebook and W2k on the desktop. ( my notebook doesnt travel alot theough ). Like someboy here suggested in the theread,I also suggest that you make LM your gateway to the internet,you cna do that either by: 1) using internet connection sharing from Mandrake control center. 2) Or by editting the /etc/Bastille/bastille-firewall.cfg file in case you are running bastill ofcourse ( and you can know if you are running bastill or not either by looking for a line that says: starting bastille firewall [OK] or by running the command ( as root: "/etc/rc.d/init.d/bastille-firewall status" in the console ( u should see a set of lines scrolling through the screen if it is working ). read my thread on this where LOTS of this List's Knights helped me out on this :) it was under the name: [newbie] iptables / ipchains / bastille ??!! you will find some of the files that need to be configured and some very usefull info. but even without making linux your gateway, I belive you can still make win your gateway with little effort,( I heard that from somebody , yet I'm not aware of how much is this little effort :) Good Luck. --------------------- Hanan AL-Shargi
