ianw1974 Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Have you got the firewall enabled? Is your security level set to High or Normal? What version of Linux are you running? At the prompt, we can stop the firewall by: su (supply root password when prompted) service shorewall stop then try and ping your linux machine again. Also for the internet, check that /etc/resolv.conf has your ISP's DNS Servers, and also make sure the LAN connection is configured to have the Windows XP machine as your default gateway.

ianw1974 Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 As far as I know, it should work the same. I've never used Fedora. Post back if it fails to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
