Stupid thinsg 1st. [1] can access [3] means outgoing conn is OK. [3] cannot access [1] at all except ping means Ping is Accepted by [1] as incoming conn. Check firewall settings on [1]. (tail -f /var/log/messages) [3] cannot access [1] could mean firewall is blocking since this is considered incoming connections to [1] and it may be blocking it. if file-sharing etc is needed, samba can be used and ports needs to be opened up. Else, trying flushing all of iptables rules and see if it works. iptables -F -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
