The rest looks right, assuming that the xp box is at a different ip address in the same group, like 192.168.0.3. Be sure it's not also 192.168.0.2.

You didn't say if you got this setup by dhcp or if you made the settings manually, that might be helpful to know. Also, what is the router?

I'n not sure about the "network" setting above. It doesn't look right. AFAIK such an address would be a talk-to-myself address, but then I don't know what you are trying to tell us with this "setting".

And you didn't say so, but I'm assuming that you have a typical star configuration with the router at 192.68.0.1 and 1 nic in all computers, all connected to the router.

Can you log into the web interface on the router from Knoppix? If you can, be sure to confirm that the router shows a connected status to your ISP. While you're at it go to the xp box and see if it can conect to the router web interface and if it can connect to the Internet.

The ping test was a good step in the right direction. You're close and this should not be too hard to resolve.
