is there any security measure (script/device) that may prevent computers
in my home network to communicate with each other?
I used to have a working network, but something happen that terminated
the communication betwwenthe 2. I think it happened after installing
linx-bastille. i think i removed bastille, however, i am unable to tell
if when i removed bastile it reset all files taht it changed.
My windows and linux machines have all appropriate settings and the nic
cards appear to work, but when i try to ping the other machine it
doesn't get anything back
Both, windows and linix, can ping themselves, the localhost, and
external networks such yahoo or mandrake, but they can't ping one
another. I tried everything, from changing setting and all of that.
Again, the setting in both machines are correct according to all
documentation i've loooked at (mandrake's tutorials, MUO's how-to, and
the 5 linux books i have.). all setting are correct. So i have to
assume the there is some sort of security issue inplace preventing thse
machine from talking to one another
I'd like to know if anyone can suggest which security files to look at
and change to see if that is what is preventing these machines from
pining each other
Thanks in advance for your assistance
