Networking trouble

Host: XP Pro
Guest: DOS 6.22
Network: NAT/physical

When I chose NAT, I can access the internet okay
but other machines can't "ping" me
The DHCP outcome is 192.168.131.66
When I chose my NIC, other guests can "ping" me.
but I can't access the internet
The DHCP outcome is 192.168.215.219

I've tried to change the network settings under XP
I have both tried auto/manual ip, dns....etc
So what's wrong with my settings?
Ready for further info.
Thanks
Jack

More info:
I have both primary and secondary DNSes set-up
which is correct under NAT config.

But When I chose my NIC, there is only one primary
DNS, no secondary and also it comprises of
a WINS if I chose NIC which I am not sure.
The subnet thing is 255.255.255.0
Thanks

Shared Networking won't let you ping, that is expected behavior.

If you can't access the Internet when selecting your physical NIC,
it's probably a gateway issue. What is the the gateway for your
network? You should have the same gateway IP on the host and the DOS
VM when using the host's NIC.
