so i have my ubuntu server all set up with a wireless n connection to my isp and a raid 5 disk share

but my windows xp64 dev pc has a belkin wireless n usb with no 64 bit driver and 3 or 4 times a day it drops the connection


so i thought let the ubtuntu server route my xp64 network traffic and dump the belkin usb i have them both on a local wired network

anyone got a link to a post that does something like that ?

my first 2 attempts were a total fail

If I understand correctly, you first of all have to connect them with a wire
No kidding, if you have available wired NIC's of both, you may connect
them with a crossover cable or have a switch and connect them both on
it.

For the software part, routing the xp, you may look for "linux
masquerade". As an example

I don't understand what you want to do here.

Can you describe the layout of the network that you want to achieve?
