Thanks a lot for answering.
Ok, well the only addresses I could ping were:
192.168.1.1 (the router)
192.168.1.3 (the other linux box)
nothing to do with the windows thing and nothing to do with several other wan ip's (I especially tried all the dns ip's I had at hand).
Now something even more worrying happened. I restarted the netbook and there is now no sign of the little beacon-like icon indicating the status of network-manager-applet. No network activity at all.
Switching on and off (Fn+F2 on my keyboard) several times the wifi, I got back the icon, no connection and a nice red exclamation mark to stress it.
No amount of disable-enable work on networking and wireless is effective in launching the only wifi connection or sniffing the wifi router.
What now? Ah yes, here are the if-w-configs:
Code:

Where are these configs stored now? Because in /etc/network/interfaces I have no mention of eth0...
Thanks to anybody who can help.
