- Open a MS-DOS window (File->Run-> command), then run ping.
Interesting
1) All Win 98 SE boxes can ping my dual boot when in SuSE Linux 7.3 Pro.
2) The Win 98 SE boxes can't ping each other (timeout).
3) I can access their drives when in Win 2k, but not in Linux.
4) Pinging the router from any Win 98 box is successful.
5) Pinging a site on the Internet (Turing.suse.de 213.95.15.200) is also
successful.
6) All Win 98 SE boxes have Norton Personal Firewall installed.
Is this a firewall issue? I wouldn't think so when I can access the Win 98
boxes from Win 2k. All boxes have Internet access and both the cable modem
and the router seem to be working correctly. Any ideas?
Cheers,
Brian
