Re: Newbie home network; Debian gateway, XP within.
To resolve the IE modem prompt you need to tell XP that the connection will
be over a LAN, not modem. This can be done by going to the 'Tools >
Internet Options' menu in IE, then the Connections tab. In there click
'Never dial a connection'. Click OK then restart IE.
The rest of the stuff some one else will have to help you with as I've
always just said 'Do this' and it has done it for me so far.
