networking with xterasys router --clueless

[mrmcd]

I have this (http://www.xterasys.com/xr1105+.htm) Xterasys router ( the XR-1105+ ) and want to use it with my FC3 machine and WinXP machine. (I don't want the machines to see eachother, just share a broadband connection through this router.) The router was advertised for Linux compatibility, yet the documentation doesn't mention a thing about it and neither does the support site (see link). I've been searching for awhile and really don't have a clue as to how to set this up. If anyone could point me to relevant HOWTO's for linux and networking newbies (believe me, I've looked) or give some advice it would be reaaaally appreciated.

you can follow these instructions they're for a linksys router but the settings should be close

you do have the windows pc connected? how did you get the windows PC set up? It is the same as linux just make sure that you are alloting enough IP addreses for your Linux PC usually 3 ip's are enough
1 for windows
1 for linux
1 extra

does the network card on the linux pc, was it detected durring the install? What are the specs of the linux PC
kernel version
ethernet device(s)
Motherboard

etc..

thanks jim. I used your guide and the similarities were uncanny, adding some IPs did the trick.
