LAN between Amy and WinXP...help pls!

Do you know how to configure TCP/IP for your needs?

Otherwise you just need to do Internet Connection Sharing on WinXP, which is simple enough.

If you want to fileshare, I'd advise setting up FTP services on both machines and configure them well (bind them to LAN IPs as well), as opposed to samba.

Mmhh....for example...
Peg -> ip 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.3
Pc -> ip 192.168.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.3
Should be ok,this?
Is this the only setting i need?

I'd advise doing things the other way round actually - enable Internet Connection Sharing on WinXP first (that grabs 192.168.0.1), then give your peg another IP.  The gateway needs to be the WinXP PC.

Knowing the TCP/IP settings you've set on both machines would be useful at this point.
