Hi all, First of all thanks Will for the help. It turned out I had everything set up correctly and had for quite some time. The problem was a CLOGGED (for want of a better word) DSL modem. However, it wasn't clogged enough to prevent me accessing the outside from my Linux box, just the Windows machine. After power cycling the modem ... Bob's your uncle ... everything worked.
Well almost everything. I plugged a second machine into the network and gave it the next IP address in the series 192.168.0.3 however I can't talk to the Linux box. The most I can do is ping the other masqd machine. 192.168.0.2 Apart from the different IP address, the network settings are exactly the same as the first Windows machine. Any ideas?
