Can I assume that they are: win7 192.168.1.1 fedora 192.168.1.2 xp1 192.168.1.3 router 192.168.1.254 ? Are these all DCHP assigned from the router? or static? If dynamic, the router will also probably help set up your routing tables as well....

Could be firewall related.... > win7 cannot ping either win7 or fedora. It's firewall rules ??? xp1 can ping win7, but win7 cannot ping win7??? And win7 cannot ping fedora? I must confess, I don't know that much about win7, but that seems strange. > fully allow icmp in private+public+domain mode. Does traceroute tell you anything about the network routing? (BTW, Microsoft spells traceroute: tracert) Usually, if you have the proper routing, it will tell you how it connects. My laptop connects to every machine on my LAN directly (only 1 hop), even though the laptop is connected to the router with the wlan, and the other machines directly with the wired network. And my network is particularly convoluted: ISP <-> ISP wireless-router <-> linksys wireless router (2 linux servers wired directly, third cable goes to a 4 port switch, one of which goes to my son's XP, another goes to another switch with 2 more XP machines and an HP printer on it). All of my linksys-wireless and the wired connections use the same 192.168.6 network. Microsoft has a tendency for each new OS to try and supersede the previous wrt Microsoft networking control (netbios stuff). > 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 631 is the CUPS printing stuff. The rest of those are Microsoft only services. Maybe Samba (smbd/nmbd) will make use of them.

You didn't mention this before (but its the same as I am using from my laptop). I have 3 XP machines on my home network, and I have no problems pinging them (though they don't seem to respond to traceroute!) Either way, and I have 2 linux servers (wired) that the XP machines can ping as well as my laptop. >> Can all 3 machines get to the internet (though what I am guessing is a >> common router) > All 3 machines can indeed use the public net via same router. Have you tried the ping tests after turning off your fedora firewall (iptables)? Are they any better or do they still fail? What about turning off your XP firewall, just to test the pinging? -- Kevin J.
