-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Your gateway is the box that has the NIC for the outside world, and it may not be 192.168.1.1. In some cases, the gateway may be the cable modem. You need to give us all the details of your network. Here is a typical home network: - ----Cable modem or DSL-----| router or PC with multiple NICS| | | | PC PC PC... | +---------------IP address is local, gateway is the router. The first question, can you ping the NT box from the Linux box. Secondly, can you ping the linux box from NT. If either one of these are successful, then we can establish that the NIC and switch are working. (Most switches will handle both full and half duplex where hubs are only half duplex). Once you have established that the switch and NIC are working correctly, then let's figure out what you are using for a gateway: What type of system is connected to the outside world: That system must be connected to the switch and have an IP address 192.168.1.X. That would be your gateway. On Mon, 29 Dec 2003 18:26:23 EET pseep@mail.gr wrote:
I have already to set the 192.168.1.1 as the getway with no success as far as the ip 192.168.1.1 is not pingable (from a networked winpc).
The WinNt which acts as a file server owns the 192.168.1.2
