Odd Routing Problem?
This will be my second post in a very long time. But, since I've rediscovered this place I thought I'd see what help I can get for this very strange problem I'm having.
Here's the issue. The house I rent with my 2 friends has a very geektastic network.
Our cable modem is attacted to our 802.11g Router (Linksys WRT54G flashed with Alchemy). Most computers connect to this directly, but our server farm lives in a room by itself with physical LAN through a 16 port switch connected to a Linksys WiFi Bridge (WET54G).
The issue:
My slackware box that I just spent so much time making all wonderful in its *nix-iness can be sshd to from the outside world (aka work) and from every computer on the network except ONE. This one happens to be my laptop.
As near as I can tell the laptop has identical networking set up to the other WinXP Pro boxes that connect through the WiFi.
From the linux box I can ping every other computer as well, but for my laptop IP i get a "destination host unreachable" error.
I've looked at so many things on my laptop I can't even think of what I could be missing.
I've tried shutting of the windows firewall. I've tried resetting the TCP/IP stack from netsh, I've repaired the network connection. I've tried ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew until my fingers got tired.
Where else should I look. Oh, and the router's everything looks normal to me.
Give me a hint people. I'm sure it's obvious and that is the reason why I've been staring at it and can't see it.
TY,
Dhej
