I cannot ping other machines even if they have the same subnet mask with static IPs.
Instead, I tried checking the NICs for both problematic machines. I installed win98.
They are working perfectly, the NICs.
Next, I reinstalled RH6.2 (this time) on both problematic machines. I put static IPs
on both RH on the same subnet mask. It didn't work. They still cannot ping each other.
So I reboot the other one to win98. Using the Win98 box, I pinged the linux
box...failed. It timed out.
What is the difference of "host unreachable" and "timed out"? Are they the same?
Is there a possibility that linux (rh/mandrake) was installed with a default firewall?
I mean, if you have 2 boxes, regardless of the OS, and let's say they have an IPs of
x.x.x.1 and x.x.x.2 of the same netmask, they should ping each other. Just a simple
network....
Help!
