hi jose,
just 1h ago i (again) just played around with the win box trying to ping
the unix machine.....i issued a few broadcast pings which didnt seem to
work, and then (once again) tried to ping the linux machine
directly.....and to my surprise *BOOM*......i got a response from the unix
machine.....man i was jumping up and down in front of my computer *g*.....i
cant tell why it works now......no clue......but it does...;)
and that is what matters......
yes u are right what the routing table is concerned, but from what i had
read in the various howtos i assumed that i had to set the routes myself,
not noticing that mandrake was doing this for me when activating the eth0
interface.
so right now i commented my routing commands out of the rc.local and let
mandrake do the routing......and it (seems) to work....at least at the
moment ;)
so many thanks to you for helping me out, and making things clearer for me...;)
greets,
--quay
