You might do better to ask this question on a RedHat linux list - this list is for Debian GNU/Linux. This is especially true if your problem is a RedHat-specific problem, as they'll have more of an idea, so you'll get your problem fixed quicker! > They are both behind my router/firewall which serves dhcp address > 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.101. > > In XP I can see the Linux machine, and I can successfully ping it by ip, > but: > > Problem 1: When I ping by machine name the command prompt appears and > disappears without displaying anything.

How can you get a reply if all the packets are getting lost? Would you mind giving the output that shows this please? > Problem 3: When i click the icon for the linux box I get the error "Network > Path not found". Not sure about this last one. I've seen it before but haven't used Samba in a while so I don't remember! Good luck sorting it all out!
