[olug] Backing up Linux through NAT

It sounds like the Linux box uses the WinXP box for access to the 10
network (i.e. the WinXP box 'hides' the Linux box from the 10 network)?

If so, you'll need to have the Linux box initiatiate the connection to the
"Server(A)" (i.e. map a drive).

Or did I miss the point of your question?
