The IP addresses are 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.13 for the win machines,
and 192.168.0.6 for the Linux. WINS is off. I think NetBIOS is on (i'm
not currently where the LAN is set up) There is a gateway defined at
192.168.0.1, which is the machine i use to dial into the internet. My
netmasks are all set at 255.255.255.0
I use a hub, and all the connections are tight. The status lights on the
HUB indicate the the pings are being transmitted, but there's just no
response.
