putty question

[Glenn at home]

I get the following message from the Linux box when trying to ping the 
windows box:
"destination host unreachable"
and some numbers.
So it may be the firewall going from the Linux box to the windows box, but I 
am unsure if the firewall will prevent it from going from the windows box to 
the Linux box.
I will try dropping the firewall and see what happens.

Hi,

Can you ping the Windows desktop from the Linux box?  Hint - there may
be a firewall under XP service pack 2 which stops this from happening,
but it should only be effecting traffic to the Windows box, not directed
at the Linux box.

Thanks.
Andrew.

Good idea,
I tried pinging the box, and I got the same thing:
timed out
I ran ifconfig on the Linux box and all seems okay, and ifconfig also
confirmed my IP address.
Why would it time out?

Hi,

Can you ping the box?  What does netstat -an give on the box - for
example, I have the following:

Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address
State
[...]

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:110             0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN

This is POP daemon listening on all interfaces

[...]

tcp        0      0 192.168.1.3:22          0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN

This is because I have set SSHD to listen on the _lan_ interface only,
as I don't trust myself with making it available on the DMZ side for
internet use.

Do you see an entry in the table on your system refering to port 22?

Thanks.
Andrew.
