Hello,
I have an internet connection shared through a Ubuntu 9.10
machine(server). I have other two machines (one with ubuntu 9.10 and other
with windows xp) connected to it via switch. The machine with ubuntu can be
pinged from any machine but i cant ping windows machine from any other
machine in network. I can "arping" windows machine. Windows machine can
ping other machines even internet (like google.com)
Is it problem of workgroup ? How do i check my workgroup on ubuntu ?
I have installed samba (thought it could solve my problem) Samba
configuration gui (System> Administration> samba) starts with an error
"could'nt read directives from /etc/samba/samba.conf" .. and list all the
directives from conf file.
How can I ping windows machine from other machine ??
Have you tried using IP address insted of hostname to ping?
I have faced similar problem when I tried to access windows machine with
host name.
You can add entry to /etc/hosts so that it can be pinged using hostname
also.

Mithun.
