Before we eliminated the computer we used as a gateway. We all had ip's assigned, we can probably go back to using them. 192.168.0.20 <-- was mine (linux) 192.168.0.30 <-- was friends (XP Box) > Win2k can assign multiple IPs to a NIC, so I assume XP can do that > too. For sake of argument, let's choose 192.168.20.10.
