firewall rules. do you allow packets from the other host to your wireless IP? what does cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all say? if it says 1, then your box will ignore pings. can you telnet into any other services? e.g., 80,110,25, whatever services are running and are available to the other host. i am not on the linux-newbie list, so i don't know if this is more appropriate there. maybe someone else will tell you in private :). tiger -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo gquimpo*hotmail.com tiger*sni*ph http://bopolissimus.sni.ph an xcdngl nntrstng jrnl Public Key: "gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 672F4C78" To seek permission is to seek denial. -- Steve Jobs -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
