Hi Raymond, I also struggled 3 days to set up a direct connection between a RH7.3 box and a WinME box with a crossover cable for experiment and met with frustration. The setup of WinME box has no problem and it can connect to other Win boxes for file sharing. IP Address RH7.3 192.168.0.1 WinME 192.168.0.2 Ping started connecting but both boxes can't see each another. I also doubt maybe the problem coming from ipchain or firewall. # /etc/rc.d/init.d/ipchains stop did not solve my problem. Could you please share me your experience how to test-reconfig "ipchains" Thanks in advance.
