The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Can not ping the Windows or Linux Machine

Asked by browerjason in Linux Networking

Tags: linux, windows, from, machine, ping

I have been working on this problem for weeks now.  I am trying to be able to share Linux files with the Windows 98 box.

Problem:  
     I can not ping the Windows IP from Linux, and I can not ping the Linux IP from windows.

Information:
     I am running a DE-220PCT D-Link card in the Linux machine.  I loaded the NE 2000 compatible driver for the card on install.  When I do an ifconfig everything checks ok.  When I run a ping 127.0.0.1, all is well, and when I self ping the Linux IP from the Linux machine, everything is OK.
     I am not sure which card is in the Windows machine, but the driver that is loaded for it is a PCI ethernet DEC 21041 Based adapter.  The 127.0.0.1 ping and the self IP ping are both OK on the Windows box as well. The NETBEUI adapter is loaded on the Windows machine as well.  The Windows machine also functions well with the AT&T @HOME services.
     The hub that I am using is a Linksys 5 port hub with an uplink for the @HOME services.
     Samba is configured and running but no such luck on the Ping test or any visibility of the Linux machine on the Windows machine.


What do I need to do to fix the communication problem.  How do I trouble shoot the problem.  I feel that I haved tried everything.  I have listened to excellent advise but have gotten nowhere.  I need to fix this my self because I have tried to find others to help, yet nobody is familiar enough with Linux.



Thanks
