My first suggestion would be to use different IP address: 192.168.0.1 for Linux and 192.168.0.2 for the Windows system. There are quite a few others (millions - literally) that will work; here are a small number of the possibilities: Linux Windows ----- ------- 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 172.16.0.1 172.16.0.2 172.17.0.1 172.17.0.2 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
