Wade, thanks for your patience.
I've gotten to the IP address, and did all the settings as mentioned
above... but still no connection.
I have an HP desktop with Gigs of memory and speed...
I clicked on the network connection icon and it gives me "wired,"
"eth0"
and "vpn connections." The "eth0" is checked.
I'm running a wired connection to this Ubuntu computer, and a wireless
connection to the Windows XP computer.
The MAC filter is disabled.
I didn't see anything about "encryption"

I can't help but wonder if the Network Interface Card (NIC) is being
recognized by Ubuntu. I think that you're going to have to go to the
Command Line Interface (CLI) -- the Graphic User Interface (GUI) is
what automatically comes up in Ubuntu -- and, um, I'll have to go look
up the commands as I'm only */familiar/* with the GUI.
--Nathan Bahn
The network card should be recognized by Ubuntu since it works great
without the router.
