I can't seem to ping Linux from my Windows machine. My Linux machine however pings Windows fine.
My machines are:
- 192.168.0.50 another Windows box
- 192.168.0.51 Windows box I'm trying this on
- 192.168.0.52 Linux box

Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 4ms, Maximum = 40ms, Average = 13ms
Yet at the same time, Windows happily connects to Samba on my Linux box.
Any idea what could be going on here?
Thanks,
