RE: M$ No Ping



I don't know if this is the forum to discuss it, but what the
heck. "Begadul", there are two explanations for your 
problem:
1. The Ethernet card in the PCs is not installed properly.
Please check its documentation for details about 
configuring it. Try messing with its resources: at the 
"Network" applet on the control panel, double click 
the Ethernet adapter on the list, and press enter. Then
get to the resources page.
You can verify that it works by accessing a network
drive on one PC from another.

2. The TCP/IP protocol is misconfigured. 
In the "network" applet you have to specify the Windows
client's IP, subnet and default gateway.

Hope it helps.

Hi,
I installed an ethernet LAN with one Linux host (COL Base) and several
PC's. The problem is:

1. The Win95 PC cannot ping the Linux host - I get "request time out".

2. The Linux host cannot ping the Win95 machine - the arp cache shows
   00:00:00:00:00:00.

I have tried various gateway settings on the Win95 box to no avail.
I put another Linux box on the network instead of the Win95 box and
ping worked fine.

3. I installed the "free" M$ TCP/IP from Netvision's Tucows site. No 
   ping to Linux or anything else. The M$ TCP/IP arp oes get the MAC of
   the Linux network adapter correctly.

TIA,

 - yba
