Sorry for taking a while to get back to you, I am very sore and tired today.
I am disabled, with a busted up back ,and I am doing my parents garden, well
what do I say, I am a sucker for helping my family.  lol

Right I can see a big problem already here.

Right if I have this right, you are using the ME machine to connect to the
net right now.  This is why we have two Ethernet cards showing up in
"ipconfig".

This tells me we need to make a few changes and see if we can get it all to
work.

First of, do you have ZoneAlarm on the ME machine, if so then we will never
get this to work right at all.

Second, we need to set the ME machine up with the IP address :  192.168.0.1
and subnet mask :  255.255.255.0.

Third, we need to get the XP machine to automatically get its IP address
which it will then get from the ME machine.

Once this is done let me know.

Okay I now you are from Spain as I am a bit of a smart-ass, and I checked
your email address.  it ended in ES, so I knew it was Spain.  In a way I do
have a connection with Spain ,as my cousin lives in a town called Calpe,
which is a short way north of Benedorm.  At present I am trying to get him
on the phone, so I can arrange to go out there for two weeks at the end of
next month.  Not been out since Easter last year.  It is very good for my
back ,as the weather is warmer and also not so humid.

As for protocols for Spain, they seam to work at present, as his phone line
is not working.  he he.

Hi Trevnal,

default gateway :  80.32.3.2

Whats next ?  Don't be too long, I'm just waiting now for the next bit
{ : - )

How do you know I'm from Spain ?  I'm actually about a 10 minute drive
inland from the beaches of the Costa Blanca.  Do you have any
connections with Spain, if you do, have you checked your protocols for
it ?  { : - )

Doug.

  Doug,
  On ME, click START, PROGRAMS, and then find the dos prompt.  Click
on that
  and then type in "ping 127.0.0.1"

  On XP, START, PROGRAMS, ACCESSORIES and then you will find COMMAND
PROMPT
  this time.  Again just type in "ping 127.0.0.1"

  By the way what part of Spain are you in?

  Hi Trevnal,

  Glad to see you haven't given up  { : - )

  If it's ok with you, I am really a complete newbie, but I learn
fairly
  quickly), can we please take it one step at a time, because I don't
  really understand most of your post.  So, the first step for me is
  below.

  Doug.

    Hi Doug,

    So we know that the network cards work fine, as we can ping
  127.0.0.1.  This
    tells us that the drivers are also working.

    How exactly do you that on win me and xp pro ?
