First, you only answered half the question. Since this is an attempt to ping the Win2K host from the Linux host, there is no *obvious* place for the Win2K machine to display an error message. So, once gain, please mention *where* "Penguin gives an error" (since, in part of the message omitted here, you say Penguin is the Win2K host). Second, as you surely knew without my saying, "something about an IP and not allowed etc." is not much as error reports go. It does make me wonder if you have some firewalling installed in the Win2K system that blocks Opus's IP address. But that is fishing wildly. So when you have the Win2K system up, try again and post exact answers to the "what" and "where" of this error message. Since (you say) Penguin *can* ping Opus successfully, basic connectivity is OK, so we need to look for a more subtle problem. Also, provide the networking basics: from Opus, output of "ifconfig" (or "ip -s link show") and "netstat -nr" from Penguin, output (in a DOS box) of "ipconfig" and "route print" Now, the usual way to specify networking information on Win2K hosts in in Start->Settings->Control Panel->Network and Dial-Up-> Local Area Connection->Properties-> Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)->Properties If you did not do it that way, tell us how you did it. In either case, did you assign an address and related info statically, or did you tell the system to use a DHCP server (if you have one on your LAN)? Same questions for DNS. Finally, since you also tell us that there are "5 other Linux systems up and running on this net and one DOS system" ... do pings from these other hosts to the WIn2K machine generate the same error message? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
