Thanks for the reply sydney-t.
When I transfer a file form XP to Linux using the pscp ( Putty Secure Copy ) command transfer speed is between 400-450 on average. I can ping from Linux to XP and no packets are dropped
Code:
[uncle@localhost ~]$ ping 192.168.0.1 pinging my XP box
PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

When I ping my Linux box I get this odd output. I used the windows command line ping command and a GUI based ping program and get the same output.
Code:
C:\TMP ping -n 5 192.168.0.11 pinging my Linux

Ping statistics for 192.168.0.11:
Packets: Sent = 5, Received = 5, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 1ms, Average = 0ms
As you can see I don't get any actual informative data / numbers from the windows to linux ping output.
Would really like some help/advice to diagnose this little dilemma. Does this indicate problems on the "network." I only have one XP pc connected to one linux box so I'm not sure if that could be classed as a fully fledged network.
Just to add that I use ICS from my XP to my Linux and speeds for net downloads are not affected. Download speeds onto my linux are exactly the same as the download speeds on my XP.
Thanks again !
Uncle
