everything checks out.
System is accessible from another Linux machine.
Just not from WinXX network - where it used to be accessible (2.1.24)
the other machine's running 2.0.30pre7 with the same TCP/IP features
enabled.
I would try that kernel here but NE2000plus support is broken .. and this
isn't high-enough priority to download a newer "stable" kernel tree.
I'm just trying to figure it out... it's a pity Windows has no real system
analysis tools (eg. tcpdump)
They can ping me fine. UDP connections (talk, ytalk) seem to work.
TCP connections (telnet (?), ftp, http, postgres, etc) don't work.
Note that tcp connections FROM this machine to the WinXX machines work
fine. (WinXX = Win98/Memphis and WinNT 4.0)
Does that help anymore?
Have a nice day :)
