Help...linux to xp networking
I can't connect from linux to xp, on LAN with two linux boxes (one
runs
sarge, other etch).
What I can do, is surf the web, ping, email, all that works from XP
out. I
can connect to both linux boxes AND to a virtual windows instance
on sarge,
running on Win4Lin. I can even print to a printer connected to
sarge, via
printer share on that virtual windows session.
What I can NOT do is mount a shared C: drive on XP from either Debian
machine, nor can I connect the other direction from virtual windows
on
sarge.
I made sure all the DNS settings were the same for sarge, etch, XP
and the
virtual windows machine. That then allowed XP to access the web;
still, no
other machine can access XP.
How do I get this all working? It worked fine until I powered
everything
down, hooked the three machines up via hardware KVM switch, to use
my one
large monitor. How do I get XP to let the other machines talk to it?
I know this is a linux list, but am hoping someone can point me in
the right
direction.

Did the XP Firewall get enabled? I have seen it get enabled by
itself sometimes. It is definitely sounding like something on the XP
box is blocking traffic.
What service on XP are you trying to connect to?
