I posted this same topic in Linux(server) forum, though I will be brief.
My Linux (RH-8.0)server 192.168.0.1 (.1) is "xover"ed (no hub) to a Windows client 192.168.0.5 (.5). When .1 boots as windows client , the ethernet connection is ok, and when .1 boots as Linux server, there is ip trafic as confirmed by Network Monitor, but .5 can not
.1 receives packets from .5, recognizes the http [SYN] command and .1 replies to .5 saying "Destination Unreachables".
Ping from windows to linux works ok with 0% loss, so there is a solid link, but http server doesn't respond to the windows client (it does respond within the same linux server, so Apache is running ok locally, but seems to not answer the requests from "outside"
Configuration:
Windows Machine: TCP/IP Ethernet card protocol is configured at IP address with the .5 address above + gateway is given the .1 address of the server.
Linux Server: "Neat" dialog for ether card shows my card active, IP address is statically given (no DHCP is running). Also the "Host" tab of the card is pointing to 127.0.0.1 which is the Apache Server. Finally, the router configured inside the httpd.conf has denied access to "All" but allows from 192.168.0.5.
¿Am I missing something?
Thanks and Regards
Javier
