I've got a Windows 98 and LINUX box set up through an unmanaged hub.
NIC cards and lo on both machines ping just fine. I can't seem to get
the two to talk. Trying to ping the other machine, either way, fails.
I've checked the hosts files, configured SAMBA and it's running, Windows
networking can see itself and is enabled, protocols and all are fine.
The obvious is fine, but for me obvious only goes so far. Pointers to
places to look beyond the standard Networking, Net-3 and SAMBA HOWTO's?
I'll check the archives again, but no luck there so far.
The LINUX install went fairly well, had to do some minor fixing like
what started on boot. Boot process is fine for all daemons and
processes. Nothing says it's missing parts or pieces. I have root and
one user login only. KDE is fine and I checked all configuration
settings there also.
If I get over this hurdle, the rest will be a piece of cake, (I hope).
The current LINUX is 2-2-19mdk.
Thanks for any and all help, pointers or encouragement. I've just about
run out of thoughts on the subject.
