Re: Network setup problems (formerly Can anyone give me a clue)

[Ken Januski]

No, it couldn't be so simple. BUT IT IS!! Sure enough I forgot that I'd 
turned on the XP firewall. Once I turned it off I was able to ping the 
XP machine. Thanks for pointing that out!

I still have the problem of not being able to use pon and ethernet and 
same time but at least I'm headed back in the right direction.

I continue to get "Can't get terminal parameters: input/output error" 
when trying to run pon with ethernet up.

Hi,

I'm starting this thread over from one that used to be called "Can 
anyone give me a clue..." . Sorry for anyone that was trying to help 
me with that thread. I'm thankful for your help but feel I need to 
rephrase the problem.

First of all I have a crossover cable connecting my Debian machine 
and a Windows XP machine. I bought it years ago as an experiment 
because I didn't know if I'd ever really need a network and didn't 
want to invest in anything more. But as far as I know I should be 
able to get a basic network with this. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I can ping the Debian box from the windows box and can telnet in 
successfully. But any attempts to ping the Windows box, either with 
hostname or IP fail. Basically ping just sits there and does nothing. 
When I end it I find a 100% packet loss.


Could it be that your WinXP firewall is turned on and blocking the 
Debian machine?
