I have a home network with three machines on it: a PC running Windows XP, one running Windows Vista and one running Ubuntu (I think "G").
The XP machine and the Ubuntu machine can see everybody on the network, but the Vista machine is making trouble (of course).
The Vista sees and talks to the XP, but denies all knowledge of the Ubuntu.
When I ping the Ubuntu I get all four packets through, and when I typed the IP address in Explorer I got the following message:
windows Network Diagnostics
windows confirmed that 1O.O.O.2 is currently online, but is not responding to connection attempts at this time.
This usually means that a firewall is running somewhere between the two computers and is blocking File and printer sharing (sMBY. Windows has confirmed that windows Firewall on this computer is correctly configured to allow this connection. However, a remote firewall might be blocking your connection.
If you have access to this firewall then configure the firewall to allow connections through TCP port *CENSORED*. If you don't have access, contact your network administrator or Internet service provider.
Now, to the best of my knowledge there IS no firewall on the Ubuntu machine (whose internal IP address btw is 10.0.0.2).
Any suggestions? Could this mean the firewall on the router?
