Very Computer

Hello All,

I'd appreciated if someone can help me. I have installed Linux (Redhat 7.1)
on a machine at home. I also have Win 2000 on another machine (at home). I
have setup the IP address on both, and I can ping the Windows machine from
the Linux box. However I can't ping the Linux box from the Windows machine.
I'm trying to copy some RPMs from my Windows machine (in particular Samba -
since I hear that will provide connectivity between the two OS's).

Here is a session from the Linux machine I'm running the KDE environment. I
open a console window and login as root.

I'll reproduce my session here:

ftp>
ftp> ftp open NEPTUNE
Connected to NEPTUNE
220   NEPTUNE   Microsoft   FTP  service (Version 5.0)
Name NEPTUNE:root: Administrator
Password:
230 User Administrator logged in
Remote System type is Windows_NT
ftp> ls -la
227 Entering Passive Mode (IP adress displayed here)
125 Data connection already open; Transfer starting
226 Transfer complete
ftp>

From the Win2k machine:

I receive:

Unknown Host ZEN

Any ideas ?

TIA

Classic misteak.  Your Linux machine doesn't have an entry in whatever
you're using as a DNS server, so attempting to connect by using its
hostname is failing.  Easiest solution is to put the Linux machine in
the 'Doze machine's %SYSTEMROOT%\LMHOSTS.SAM file.  (This file is
actually reasonably well documented, just edit it with Notepad or
GVIM.EXE and things will be fine...)

For further info, consult O'Reilly's TCP/IP book (the Crab Book) and
read the Networking-HOWTO.
