Mask is 255.255.255.0 on both boxes.
thats good. it should work then. if it does not i suggest installing tcpdump on the linux box and doing tcpdump -i eth0 then from the win32 box ping the linux box see if anything comes up on the terminal running tcpdump. if not then: from the linux box, ping the IP of eth0, if it responds good, if not you have problems. from the win32 box ping the IP of the ethernet card, if it responds good if not you have problems ignore any workgroup/domain/computer name shit. that is not part of TCP/IP and won't affect ping in any way. doesn't matter what they are set to. verify the cable is working as well by using it between 2 other systems. lastly if it still does not work ... run: ifconfig eth0 >/tmp/diagnostics.log route -n >>/tmp/diagnostics.log uname -a >>/tmp/diagnostics.log lsmod >>/tmp/diagnostics.log lspci -v >>/tmp/diagnostics.log and copy the contents of that file to an email to the list. you may need to install the packages 'pciutils' and 'tcpdump' via: apt-get update ; apt-get install pciutils tcpdump in order to use them .. now if your ethernet card is ISA(shudder) don't bother with the lspci stuff :) nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
