Hi All I'm baffled. I have a 3 computer network at home. Using a switch, I have my Linux machine and two other XP workstations all connected. The Linux box acts as a gateway for the net and a print server etc. and the xp workstations are simply used for day-to-day work. I have it set up so I can share files between all 3 computers (using a combination of microshaft's connection wizard thingy and samba/komba2). Everything was fine until recently one of the XP machines stopped sharing it's files (and was unable to connect to the other two computers' shared files), although the other two computers still happily share files and printer.
The 'faulty' xp machine still takes it's connection for the net through the linux box though! - so no major network hardware problem I thought/think!? Linux ip: - 192.168.0.1 (gateway) Xpbox1 (faulty share machine): - 192.168.0.2 (mask, 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.0.1) Xpbox2: - 192.168.0.3 (mask, 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.0.1) Both the linux box and XPbox2 can ping each other, and I can ping both the linux box and the XPbox2 from the 'faulty' XPbox1. However, and perhaps crucially, I cannot ping XPbox1 from either linux or XPbox2. Phew, that took some writing and no doubt has taken some reading if you've bothered to get this far :) Can anyone offer me help please... I know this is not strictly a Linux query as it seems XPbox1 is to blame, but I'm sure someone out there might have some ideas to try at least. Could it be a hardware issue? That's all I could find in the way of help on the MS knowledge base webby. Thanks Neil -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
