On my laptop, I have an NTFS partition for NT, a FAT partition for data as a dmz which both linux and NT can access, and an ext3 partition for linux. However, I've experienced some weirdness on the FAT partition, and I'm wondering if anybody can tell me why it's happening.
Yesterday, I downloaded the new release of cherrypy, and stuck it on the dmz drive. I ran tutorial01, which opens up a server on port 8080 and waits for connections. All seemed well, initialization info printed out, and it said it was waiting for connections on port 8080. However, when I tried to connect to it (via firefox or telnet) it just didn't respond. Not immediately - the connection attempts timed out. I tried different ports, but that didn't change anything. A reboot into NT, run the same file, it works perfectly. Eventually, after thinking it's a hosts file problem, or a firewall problem, I figure out that if I move it to my ext3 drive, it again works perfectly. Prints out the same information, says it's waiting on 8080, but this time, I can access it. Can anybody posit a guess as to why it would behave this way?
