Topic: Ping my server.. I wish I could.

[nick]

Hi all,  
I've got 5.1.2 working with all updates. Internet sharing (56k modem)is ok with all computers.  All I-bay's, logon scripts,users,passwords, and printer sharing is ok. The server works  really well.  
 But I can not ping (I get a time out ) from any windows or linux clients trying to ping to the server. The server is the basic (192.168.1.1).The server is issuing all Ip addresses.
 I've searched the messages here but could not find anything. What could be the error ..or where can I start to look?
Could it be the 10/100 5 port Hub?
 
P.S. I've rebooted the server once..... just in case........but same error.
 
Regards
Nick

Paste me the contents of C:\MYIPCONFIG.TXT by issuing the following command.

ipconfig -all > c:\myipconfig.txt
notepad c:\myipconfig.txt (Copy then paste into forum).

I'd be curious to see what your IP settings are.

Hi everyone,
I loged in as root on the server (192.168.1.1) and was able to ping all the clients but could not ping the server (itself ) 192.168.1.1.
This is what came up.
warning : no SO timestamp support, falling back to SIOCGSTAMP
ping 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) from 192.168.1.1: 56 (84) bites of data

( then it hangs ) I have to press Ctrl C to cancel the action.
