I've struggled with this one for months! Much perusing of HOWTOs and googling hasn't helped.
I have two computers, desktop and laptop, and a wireless router and ADSL modem. Both machines reach the internet without problems, one via a cable link to the modem, the other via a wireless link to the router. However, they do not communicate with each other. I cannot ping from one to the other though I can ping localhost on each. Turning off the firewall (shorewall) does not help. I've tried adding the appropriate IP values (192.168.0.20 and 192.168.0.22) to the respective /etc/hosts and /etc/hosts.allow, but it makes no difference. I'd like to be able to set up ssh or NFS but I can't because of the communication failure. Is what I'm trying to do even possible? Or am I missing something obvious?
