New computer here, XP Home installed - plugged into the LAN and can ping
and be pinged but cannot get onto internet (neither via web browser,
ping etc.) The firewall (running on a Linux server) doesn't restrict the
IP address as far as I can see. Other machines on the netwrok are
accessing internet without any problems.

Is there some setting in XP Home one needs to tick in order to be
allowed internet access? I am using the default user which has
Administrator privileges.

Tahnks for your help

cheers
