Hi rinux,
What version of linux do you have and what os are you trying to connect to? Can you ping that machine and vice versa?

Have you got the services enabled? As root run:
ntsysv
and select the services you require to be started on startup.

if you want to ftp or telnet to the machine you need to have the respective servers running.
'rpm -qa |grep telnet'
'rpm -qa |grep ftp'
and check if the above command gives out the servers. if they are not there then you need to install them. if they are installed then you need to configure them
