Do all the machines have a /16 netmask (255.255.0.0) for the 192.168.x addresses? > 1. When I ftp from 192.168.200.2 (WinXP) to 192.168.250.1 (RH Linux File > Server), the firewall shows an error message saying that WinXP machine is > ignoring redirects to 192.168.250.1 This suggests that the XP machine has the wrong netmask. If it has a /24 netmask (255.255.255.0), it will consider 192.168.250.1 to be in a separate network, and will attempt to send packets via the router. -- Glynn Clements <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
