If the box passes packets from Windows, it should also do so for Linux. There's no such thing as "Linux packets". The problem is either routing or DNS resolution in the system with the problem. If you can ping by IP address, but not host name, it's DNS. If you can't by IP either, it's routing. If you can't even ping a local IP, then it's some configuration issue with the NIC. A useful tool to find out what the problem is, is Ethereal. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
