Hi,If your machines are on two private IP segments (such as 10.0.1.xxx and 192.168.1.xxx) then the routher wouldn't know how to route packets coming from say, 10.0.1.1 and going to say,192.168.1.1
I'm trying to file share between two Windows 98 machines, but none of my machines seem to be able to see each other.
set up is like this: cable modem -> router -> access point ->win98 laptop ->Dlink dwl-900AP->hub->win98 ->red hat 8
I do a ping -b from the linux box and only get a reply from the router. Why can't I see the other computers?
The router (unless configured to do so) will only go public to public, public to private, and private to public, but not private to private. Perhaps this is the problem?
