So your Win2K laptop gets the 0.5 address when connected to your home
LAN?
And your Linux server has the address of 0.1?
Correct
Can you ping localhost? Do you have other machines on the network you
can ping? What's the result of "ifconfig"?
Yes, I can ping localhost without problems. I had another linux
machine I could ping on the debian box without problems. It is
currently not connected so I could not try to ping it on the Win2K
machine. ipconfig on the Windows machine gives the following results:
Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection:
Connect-Specific DNS Suffix:
IP Address : 192.168.0.5
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway : 192.168.0.1
ifconfig on the debian box gives the following results:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:75:9F:5D:42
inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
