XP1 can ping win7 and can ping router, but cannot ping fedora. win7 cannot ping either win7 or fedora. It's firewall rules fully allow icmp in private+public+domain mode. Fedora has these rules pertaining to the LAN: -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type 0 -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 0/0 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 137 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -p udp -m udp --dport 137 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 138 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -p udp -m udp --dport 138 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 139 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -p udp -m udp --dport 139 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 445 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -p udp -m udp --dport 445 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 631 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -p udp -m udp --dport 631 -j ACCEPT -A OUTPUT -d 192.168.1.0/24 -j ACCEPT -A OUTPUT -p icmp --icmp-type 8 -s 0/0 -d 0/0 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT Perhaps the 2nd output rule is redundant, but I had to make sure that ping were not blocked in or out. > > I'd start by comparing IP addresses on all three machines and checking > to see that they all think they are on the "same" network.
