No. You have networking UNIX style (the way over 100+ OSs do it,
including non-UNIX OSs) and there's M$' version of networking. There
are no M$ networking experts, only MCSEs (with no clue how real
networking works). I doubt any of the non-UNIX MCSEs could tell you
what tcpdump is, much less read the output.
Speaking of which, why don't you try to see what's going on w/ tcpdump?
On the Linux box, do this:
tcpdump -ni eth0 (assuming eth0 is connected to the XP box)
then, in another box, ping the XP box, then from the XP box ping the
Linux box. You should first see arp who-has messages, then icmp
echo-requests and echo-replies. If you have trouble reading it, just
redirect it to a file and e-mail it to me.
Ciao,
