You really shouldn´t use 123.123.123.x addresses for your local network
if you haven´t received that address from your ISP. To be on the safe
side use the net 192.168.x.0 instead. This is a designated transfer
network that´s definitely not routed on the Internet.
A usable setup would be:
Linux: IP 192.168.42.1, Mask 255.255.255.0, Broadcast 192.168.42.0,
no DNS, no Gateway.
Win/PC: IP 192.168.42.2, mask 255.255.255.0, Broadcast 192.168.42.0,
no DNS, use LMHOSTS lookup, no Gateway.
On the Linux machine, set /etc/resolv.conf to "order host,bind", then
create a /etc/hosts file containing
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.42.1 linux
192.168.42.2 winpc
Copy that file to c:\<windirecotry>\lmhosts or copy the lmhosts.sam
file found there to lmhosts and edit it to use those numbers.
This is assuming that you don´t have access to te Internet. Since
all of your machines are on the same net, you really don´t need a
Gateway. You also don´t need DNS lookup since you can maintain your
hosts file pretty easily.
