XP: ipconfig /all tells me IP addr: 192.168.0.11
if I run ping 192.168.0.11 frm FC4 all packets get lost. Ping works, because I can ping the router at 192.168.0.1

linmix, did you get this resolved?

If not, check your firewall settings on your XP box. With the firewall on and default settings, it does not respond to pings.

whats ur broadcast/netmask for your Windows machine.

and why is your Bcast addy .225 on your linux?

Should be this, except if you use special IP settings.. which i doubt
inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

Thanks . Do you also happen to know what I should enable/disable in the XP firewall to get ping to the XP box working?

XP:

IP 192.168.0.11
mask 225.225.225.0
can't find any reference to Bcast when I execute ipfonfig /all on XP

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.25
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

255.255.255.0 you meant i guess?
not 225.225.255.0

My bad. It's 255.255.255.0 of course.

After some fiddling around I've found out how to make XP accept incoming ping requests ... it took me a while as I have a Spanish version and didn't know exactly what I was looking for

Nope. But I'm glad you found it!

So, sounds like ur fixed!

Now you just need to configure samba.

Looks like it yes. I'd also like to share the printer I have connected to XP to be able to print from linux. Does that also go with Samba?

Uh, no. You should be able to share it without too much problem if the printer is supported in cups. No need for samba. If your printer was attached to the linux box, you would need to share it through samba.

Not sure if I understand correctly. I had the printer working with cups previously, but with very poor printing results (definition/speed) so since I have a n XP box in my LAN I'd like to print through the XP drivers.
