What do I do to get my linux box to ping my win box? My win box has the connection? Can you tell the step-by-step including the commands and everything? thx
just type ping (win ip number)
its the same waya s ping linux from windows
to ping the win box from the linux box, open a terminal and type the command:
ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip address of the win box
(note: to stop it, type ctrl+c)
Hope that's what you were looking for
I'm an idiot, but not that big. I ment, what do I need to configure in linux to be able to ping my windows box...? Sorry for lack of detail or whatever.
I am also having the same problem. Here is my setup.
box1 XP pro with ip of 192.168.x.x class c subnet
box2 win2k/redhat 6.1 pro ip on same scheme
I can get a ping reply if booted into win2k
I can get a reply if I boot into rehat, but only from localhost. I am unable to ping anything else on the same scheme.
??????????
in linuxconf, what do I have to specify? I have specified the computer name, but what do I put for domain? I don't have any servers, just setup up in a workgroup.
I have tried to add the addresses of my other boxes in the hosts files of both win and linux boxes
what else should I do?
I have even tried to configure SMB where I have had to specify the workgroup and other hosts that I want to allow access...
I've talked to other people and they say that it shouldn't matter as IP takes precedence over the domain and workgroup, but I know that is not the case in windows...
any suggestions?
Appreciate your help and I love reading the threads. Much useful info. Thanks AO!
if each computer can ping each other ok, then set up the box with the internet connection as the gateway from the console:
$ route add default gw 192.168.x.x <-- the ip address of the internet connected machine
you may have to enable win xp to share its internet connection if you are using ICS (which i don't recommend), so as suggested before, use a software proxy downloaded from the net.
phishphreek80: there is no need to configure samba if you won't be sharing files or printers between the two computers.
