I am trying to establish networking on a LAN consisting of 2 machines on Linux 2 on Windoze. My second Linux box never used to respond to the network. So I did : ifconfig -a ifconfig eth0 192.147.165.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig -a
Now from the one Windows box (192.147. 165.1) , connected to the same HUB, I tried to telnet 192.147.165.4 I got the message "Could not connect". Then I gave ping 192.147.165.4 which vae out 4 packets sent 4 received 0%packet loss. Now I go to 192.147.165.4 and : ipchains -I input -s 0.0.0.0/23 -p tcp -j ACCEPT ipchains -L Still I can not telnet to 192.147.165.4 from the Windows box (192.147. 165.1). Basically what would you do in a similar situation as was placed before me? Any help shall be greatly appreciated.
