Hey, if you don't have a resolv.conf you'll need to make one. Just make it look something like this: <resolv.conf> nameserver <DNS Nameserver #1> nameserver <DNS Nameserver #2> </resolv.conf> Where the nameserver's (you only need 1, you can add other ones optionally (if you have them). For the nameserver you should put your windoze box if it's set up to do that, or if it's not then set it as your isp's Primary and Secondary DNS. You'll also need to set your gateway to your windows computer by editing /etc/network/interfaces. Windows will need to be running something like ICS too...
