Hello,
I cannot ping my windows machine from my linux machine and vice versa. I get Destination host unreachable. I am able to ping from both boxes outside the network. Windows is discoverable, no firewall restrictions on the linux side. No icmp restrictions as well. No VM is setup.I can also not ssh into my linux box or RDP. I discovered this when I setup xrdp which is enabled and port 3389 is listening. Any ideas? Below is my ip information.
Thank you.
You try to ping 192.168.254.22? It’s a wireless interface, so I wonder whether the router or access point connects it to the wired network that your Linux PC is attached to.
Try with a wired connection on the Windows PC. Or if you have other wireless devices, do they have connectivity to the Linux PC?
You can also use tcpdump and/or wireshark to trace packets and see if there is any reply to ARP requests.
