Hi, I am very new to Linux networking and am having a problem with routing. I have 2 machines connected to the internet one running WinXP and other running RH8.0. Both are configured with DHCP. The windows machine is directly connected to the internet (I am using DSL). The linux box is connected to DSL router(Linksys) which in turn is connected to the internet. I am able to ping the windows machine from the linux box. But am not able to do it the other way round. I figured that this is due to the presence of the router. What do I need to do to get around this problem ? Also eventually when I use static IP addresses will I have to use NAT or IP forwarding ? Also an interesting thing is that I am able to ping the windows machine from linux box, but traceroute does not work ! Thanks for any help, SP __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
