You're right Pete. That has nothing to do with it. Sounds like it might be
the hub. Mike, try using a crossover cable to connect the two NICs directly.
If this works, check the documentation that came with the hub for
troubleshooting steps. However, I would try reinstalling the TCP/IP protocol
on the Windows box first.

I don't think that's correct, as the PPP (or diald) docs recommend using
a 192.168.0.1/2 address as the 'default' configuration for dynamic IP
address situations, so it would appear that 192.168.0.1 with a netmask of
255.255.255.0 resolves to a 'normal' address.
OTOH, I know nothing about IPMASQ, so that may change things.
