Are u sure u haven't set some proxy variables on the notebook? ( Check using "env | grep -i proxy" )
Positive.
Are u sure u not made some monkey things with desktop? (Maybe u have IPs from the same network on eth and wlan ifaces or u have broken routing table or ...)
I don't think so. I haven't played with any of the routing tables or anything fancy.
While ping runs try to connect to different ports on desktop from ntbk, the best using "telnet desktop port" command. If desktop recives echoes and u can connect to desktop, arp is broken and that's the problem.
Nope, no dice. However, I tried rebooting the desktop in Windows and pinging it, and it works. The notebook can ping the desktop when the desktop is running Windows. Doesn't help me much, but it does point to some sort of configuration problem.......
Ok, it seems like bastille is the one causing me problems. It was running on the desktop and blocking all requests, even if it is configured to leave the http, cups and ssh ports open. I stopped it entirely and now I can ping the machine and access most ports (80 is a problem but I think it's an Apache config issue).
Well, looks like it was an ID10T priblem after alll...
Thanks for your help an patience!
