Leo,
I just installed RH 6.1 last night on my box. I used linuxconf, and found out that
the firewall is not installed by default in custom installation.
fooler was right. Following your discussions, I try diagnosting things and it seems
as if your cable or hub is experiencing an intermitent trouble.
If your win9x ping itself, try to ping the other on the network. Timed out signifies
that the box being pinged is not responding fast as it was expected by the
configuration. Or may not be responding at all. Host not responding is that the host
is being contacted but is not giving any response (snabbera, kung baga.)
Your CAT-6 should be checked against low quality, that is the factor that causes
intermittent troubles. Is your hub an intelligent autosensing or just a plain hub.
To make the isolation of trouble efficient, dont chance physical configuration when
using the other OSes.
