Source address wrong for network share

I have a box with two ethernet adapters. One is gigabit
ethernet (at 192.168.2.200) the other is not (at
216.254.100.200).

I have a linux box providing a samba share on
192.168.2.201. The linux box is accessible over either
network.

If I connect to \\192.168.2.201\music then I see a TCP
connection on the linux box from my windows machine, but
the *source* address is listed as 216.254.100.200.

In other words, the windows box is mounting the share just
fine, but it is identifying itself as 216.254.100.200.
This is wrong, and causes the response traffic to come
back over the slower link.

Any hints?
Thanks,
A.
 
I've never done anything like this so Im not positive about my advice.
Have a look at the "route" command, run from the command prompt. To look at
your current routing table try the "netstat -r" command. If you DO want to
fiddle with your routing tables make sure you print off the old values
before you start.

I did a search on xp routing and found a few articles similar to the
following, but they may not be applicable to your case and only for where
you want to set up your xp pc as a network router

If it does help and you get a solution, please post it back to here as it
will be useful for archive searches (and Im interested too)
