RE: [PLUG] Odd networking error
|
Do you have firewall software on Hobbes that could be stopping pings and
samba requests from coming in properly?
And about assigning static IP address - are you configuring all
appropriate settings? Not just IP address, but also netmask and gateway
settings?

OK, I'm having an odd problem w/my linux workstation hobbes. Hobbes can
communicate w/SAMBA shares on other PCs- especially the linux server
calvin- w/o a problem. However, it's not playing nicely as a server
itself. To wit...
* I can't assign a static IP address, even though I'm 100% sure that all
the information is correct. When I allow it to get an IP via DHCP, it
plays nicely as a client- Web, news, etc.
* I can't ping it, either by NetBIOS name or IP
* I can't connect to any SAMBA shares on it
Thoughts? I doubt it's a SAMBA-specific issue, since hobbes isn't
responding to ping requests.
