-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It seems, Vista don't want to connect with Ubuntu. Here is what happend,
My collegue have Dell Inspiron preinstalled with Vista, Before he bought his laptop, he used my system. So he wanted to transfer his files from my system to his system. This is how we went. 1. Bought a crossover-cable and connected two laptops. 2. Both systems started dhcp request, Ubuntu settled with creating one more ethernet interface 'eth0:avahi'. 3. Vista created a connection called 'unidentified network'. 4. I manually configured eth0 using the below command in ubuntu, $ sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 $ sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.2 5. In vista I went to ipv4 properties and manually added 192.168.1.4 as ip address as well as gateway. 6. At last I tried to ping each other, Vista is able to ping 192.168.1.2. But Ubuntu was not able to ping, even 'destination host unreachable' message not appeared. But `arp -a` showed his machine's MAC address correctly(I'm not able to recreate the situation, my friend is in bangalore now, Sorry for not pasting the output). Help me to handle this situation.
