So lets setup Mint to have the same IP Address etc as your Windows XP setup ....
What we are going to do is set Mint to use a static IP address, so open your interfaces file in mint using this command in a terminal :
Code: Select all
sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
Code: Select all
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
This will assume exactly the same IP Address and gateway as windows XP does .... it should work ... unless there is something majorly wrong with your Mint install !
Let me know how you get on!
Mike.
