[Help] Windows>Centos. Full Details On Problem.

[Xcell]

Hey guys.
I have Centos 4.6 running on VMWare Server.

I have a bridged connection via VMWare, this allows me to ping Windows from Centos, but when I come to pinging Centos to from Windows, it wont let me, it says 'Request timed out.'

It is really confusing, since it lets me ping Centos>Windows but not Windows>Centos.

I have 2 NIC's one for internal and one for external.

Check your centos firewall is not enabled as it is by default.

My CentOS Firewall is disabled.

Great job, even the Mod's can't move it to the right section, kickass Job!

 

[chumpywumpy]

Yes this is my mistake. The sections are next to each other in the list and i must have hit the wrong one without realising.

Even mods are human and we do make mistakes on occasion. I have asked the mods here to move it back, admitted my error and given you a good laugh so it isn't a complete waste of time :/
