I dont know what the linux box's ip address is, and I'm not sure how to find it. In XP I would use ipconfig from the command line, is there a equivalent command for linux? I am using a onboard lan on my linux box. I think I can ping my windows box from linux, but can't do it the other way around. All I want to do is get the internet up and running. I apologise for repeating a question that's (I'm sure) been asked many times before. -- - Regards, Lee Jamieson -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com"> ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users">http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> -- Mike "Another casualty of applied metaphysics" --Hobbes
