Hi

Just some more thoughts,

When assigning static IP's, use something well out of the way of the DHCP 
server eg 192.168.1.99.

Give the machines a different name for each OS eg natalie1/natalie2.

Have you defined a domain name for your Linux setups?  Windows dosen't care.

I.e.  192.168.1.0 is your network
      "somename"   is the domain name of your network.

Perhaps your ISP has a list/newsgroup that could help with your routing/DNS 
problems?

Cheers...................Simon.
