Can't hit server from inside my house

[frozenpeas]

Hi. I am running a Windows 98 machine and a Red Hat 7/Apache machine. Each has a seperate static IP address and both are connected to a hub that connects to my cable modem.

The problem is, I can't access the RH machine from my Windows machine. All I can successfully do is ping and tracert. I can't telnet, ftp, http, etc.

I can hit the RH server from anywhere else (work, different cities, etc).

Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?

Sounds like an access list or PF problem. Make sure you
allow this 98 machine explicitly.

Hi,



I would strongly suspect the RH7.x firewall. If you have the ipchains service active at runlevels 3 & 5 (/sbin/chkconfig --list ipchains) then look at the lokkit firewall - '/usr/sbin/lokkit' as root. The configure screens are in two sections - allow by interface and allow by service. So maybe you have it allowing traffic on your internet interface but not on the lan interface.



If apache and telnet/ftp don't work then it can't be xinetd because apache does not run under xinetd (unless you went to the specific trouble of configuring it that way!). If you can ping / traceroute then there is clearly connectivity - its just a question of whats filtering the lan stuff out.
