Re: (linux)how do allow pings (and stuff)
Thanks Nate (and for the others who have also relied with a similar fashion),
but the problem is when I try to ping my machine from a _different_ host. From
this different host I can ping other machines, just not my machine (where debian
is running).
That is, I can ping _from_ my machine with no problem, I kind ping to it though.
Other suggestions anyone? Please...
TIA
Richard
PS I can ftp to my machine, so it isn't an "obvious" network problem
