I still have not been able to get my network (just a crossover cable) to work right. At this point I can ping from w2k to Linux but not from Linux to w2k. Here is what happens when I try: [rick at myLinux rick]$ ping myW2k PING myW2k (192.168.1.2) 56(84) bytes of data. (the link lights on both cards flash in unison but this ping just "hangs" here without any output until I CTRL-C, then I get...) --- myW2k ping statistics --- 8 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 7016ms I am still learning about networking so please don't make any assumptions. Could it be my windoze firewall (ZoneAlarm)? It does not report that someone has been trying to ping. It's annoying to turn it off because I only have one mouse (gave the spares away) and if I move the mouse from the Linux box Linux stops recognizing the mouse when I replace it and so I have to reboot. -- Eric (Rick) Meyerhoff rick at eworld3.net 952-929-1659 _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
