OK are they all options you can select? Try selecting LAN or Cable Modem (Ethernet), because I believe that is the connection you have to the Linux machine. Once you've done this just see what happens next. Maybe try opening a web page, I don't think you should need to set up anything else. However I am not familiar with Xandros.

So it asks you to type in those values? In Name of Connection just type Internet, I don't think it matters, and leave the DHCP host name blank. That's my best guess, I'm not entirely sure though.

Hey well done. 
Most of them are pretty easy to set up if you use DHCP on your router, which you do. Did you have the same problem in Slackware? | |
