Subject: Debian and Xp network problem
I have a debian sarge box connected to my home network. It is used as
a dhcp server and samba server. I also have two xp computers on the
same network. My problem is that the xp computers loose network
connectivity to the debian box at random times and for random lenghts
of time.
I ran some test with ping:
Debian box ping Xp computer : never times out
Xp computer pings other Xp computer: never times out
Xp computer pings Debian box: Frequent timeouts
Xp has firewall disabled.
Debian box doesnt have firewall installed
The internet on the debian box as well as the Xp box never goes down,
even when ping timeout.
All computers are connected via a router that has no built-in firewall
