I just did the boot camp thing, and the Windows XP side of the Mac book won’t connect to the internet! I have a wireless router, and the Mac side of my Mac book gets internet perfectly fine. Please give me step-by-step instructions of how to get my Windows XP onto the internet. Thanks for your time.

Lestat de Lioncourt asked:
I am running Fedora Core 5 on my laptop and I have Windows XP Media Center on my desktop which is connected to the internet via LAN. I want to know how I can connect to the internet from my laptop using my desktop’s net connection. I already have all the physical connections set up (network adapters and cable) and I’m already using my network for file sharing. Please don’t offer any suggestions on using Linux as host (I already know how much safer it is). I want help on dealing with situation as it.
Incidentally, I’m also facing trouble using ICS from my XP partition on the laptop. It used to work flawlessly before, but I think after I installed Fedora it stopped working (although file and printer sharing areOK). I ran the ICS wizard again on each comp, but it didn’t work. Any suggestions on what might cause that?

aido2002 asked:
I set up an old laptop with Ubuntu Linux with the intention of making it a print server. I hooked up a printer to it, and set it to share all printers, yet when I go onto my Windows computers, neither it, nor the printer attached to it, show up. What should I do to make it successfully work as a print server?

Okay, this is not the first time I have had this problem. I decided to install OpenSuse 11.0 on top of Windows dual boot, and the Linux OS won’t connect to the Internet but Windows will. Any ideas?Submited by:TestTubeBaby

Suresh asked:
We are trying to connect to a server located in the US from our India offices. We have a 512kbps line and we find that there is a latency of about 350ms. When I try to download a file, it takes a lot of time (About 6 hours for downloading a 1GB file). Is this reasonable? How can I calculate the expected download speed, given latency and the bandwidth? Is there any formula to calculate the download speed? Are latency and bandwidth the only factors involved?
