Network setup problems
Hi All,
I have a Win2K laptop with a full computer name like henry.workdomain.com
and a domain name like workdomain.com. This gets assigned an automatic ip
address anytime I log onto the work network.
I have a small linux network at home and I wanted to setup samba to be
able to use the laptop at home to share files on it. For this reason, I
assigned a static ip address to it as follows:
ip address: 192.168.0.5
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
default gateway: 192.168.0.1
I have edited /etc/hosts and included the appropriate lines on the linux
server
and also I have the same entries in the hosts file on Win2K.
On the linux box, if I try to ping the Win2K laptop, I get the following:
PING laptop.network.home (192.168.0.5): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Operation not permitted
ping: wrote laptop.network.home 64 chars, ret=-1
On the Win2K machine, the following is what I get:
Pinging 192.168.0.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
I am not sure what I have done wrong, and this seems to be very basic stuff.
Any and all suggestions are welcome.
Regards
Ogya
