Well I am confused but hey that's nothing new. Why does the ADSL modem have
a fixed, private IP address? Shouldn't the ADSL modem be getting an IP
address from your ISP provider? Also isn't the management interface for the
router (and the "private" side of the router) set up to 192.168.0.1? How do
you handle router configuration? To configure my router I aim Internet
Explorer at 192.168.1.1 and a cool GUI HTML interface comes up that allows
me to set certain parameters on the router.

How do you connect with your DSL provider? Do you use PPoE? Is your router
handling the login to the DSL provider?

On the XP host, are you using ICS? I would think that you need to use ICS to
allow the IPAQ to share the internet connection with the XP host. Are you
setting up DNS correctly on the XP host so that the IPAQ is getting the
correct information?

Any additional information you can provide may help

Cheers
TC
