I don't concur. The "network unreachable" message tells me that the NIC on the linux box isn't set up correctly. If it were a firewall issue the pings would be rejected by the firewall or be silently dropped. Either way you wouldn't get that message. I would look to the linux box for the issue. Make sure you can ping the IP of the linux box from the linux box itself (not 127.0.0.1). If you still get the network unreachable message then there is definitely and issue with the linux network setup. - -- The Wandering Dru GnuPG Key: 0x506A915F http://www.druswanderings.net Get nifty TCLUG merchandise at the TCLUG Store! http://www.cafeshops.com/tclug -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFB7T/4iwhv4FBqkV8RAuDlAJ4zw7R59fqV05H1AlZ6oMw82JxZDACffLLb EitzWqMM1t2h8yURIitdohc= =jxld -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
