I counldn't find a more suitable forum so i post this here. Anyone doing home network with switches and with windows and linux system? I got a windows xp and RH connected to the internet via a switch. win have local ip 192.168.0.1 and RH ....0.2 Both can connect to the internet fine without any problem. But I tried to connect to my RH from my win pc.. it cant find it. Any idea?

No idea....as I know RH has something to configure, coz am not d expert....sorry

Firstly, make sure both PC can ping each other's IP.
I assume you mean the "connect" here is share files? Make sure you have Samba client installed and configured correctly at RH.

Also, at WinXP network place, click "add network place". It will search for the PC in network... if cannot find RH, nvm. Manually type: \\RH\ (assume RH is your RH PC name), and it will list out the share folder in RH(hopefully)

Hope these help

Thanks all.. I can ping each other fine.. i have samba.. but i can connect to each other with it. Also.. i running apache on the linux.. and IIS on the win.. both cant seems to connect using browser... one think i notice though... The win have the local area connection info.. bytes sent and received, everytime i try to load the IIS webpage from RH, the number changes... So i guessing it can reach the win machine but not directed to IIS? and btw... in the end the browser form RH will show page Under Construction..?? never mind i keep you guys up to date on what i find

Since someone opened a thread here on networking, I thought I'd post about my problem with my dad's office network...

Currently my dad's office has two PCs, running on XP and ME respectively. XP's ip is 10.0.0.1 and ME's ip is 10.0.0.2. The strange thing is that XP can ping ME, but ME cannot ping XP. What the heck is the problem?

you ping by IP or by name? The Windows XP is firewall protected? How do they connected?
