Re: redhat and winxp machine not talking

[Shannon Neumann]

Perhaps this has already been mentioned, I apologize if it has.  If you are trying to use the WindowsXP box as the gateway to the internet, do you have Internet Connection Sharing set up?  If not, then it's not gonna do what you want it to.  As far as pinging, both machines have default firewall rules that should block incoming ping requests, so...

At a command-line on the linux box, I would do a service iptables stop to disable the firewall and then see if you can ping from windows to linux.

Hope this helps,

Brian,

 

I am in the same boat as you... I still cannot get my XP to talk with Linux... I am trying  to use secured shell as suggested with no luck yet.... If I get it working I will let you know... Will be at it again Friday... Please let me know if you get it working before I do.

 

Thanks

Subject: redhat and winxp machine not talking

Heres my setup

 

XP machine w/2 NICs

1st NIC direct to @HOME cable modem

2nd Nic into hub  192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0

 

RedHat 8.0 Machine

1 NIC 192.168.0.5/255.255.255.0

Gateway 192.168.0.1

DNS same as @home

 

I cannot get them to see each other, let alone share the internet connection

they won't ping each other

I am very new to Linux, so please be specific with suggestions.
