So it may be the firewall going from the Linux box to the windows box, but I am unsure if the firewall will prevent it from going from the windows box to the Linux box. I will try dropping the firewall and see what happens.

Hint - there may be a firewall under XP service pack 2 which stops this from happening, but it should only be effecting traffic to the Windows box, not directed at the Linux box. Thanks.

Subject: Re: putty question Good idea, I tried pinging the box, and I got the same thing: timed out I ran ifconfig on the Linux box and all seems okay, and ifconfig also confirmed my IP address. Why would it time out? Glenn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Hodgson" To: "Glenn at home" ; "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux."

What does netstat -an give on the box - for example, I have the following: Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State [...] tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:110 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN This is POP daemon listening on all interfaces [...] tcp 0 0 192.168.1.3:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN This is because I have set SSHD to listen on the _lan_ interface only, as I don't trust myself with making it available on the DMZ side for internet use. Do you see an entry in the table on your system refering to port 22? Thanks. Andrew.
