windows client cannot see linux client
I use to be able to FTP and surf to the linux webserver on my network from my windows clients, but my ISP changed my static IP and suddenly i cant ping or ftp or websurf the server, from inside my network. I know the server is working properly ( I think ) because the outside world has no problem pinging or FTP or web surfing to the Linux Server... I just cant do it internally (except for on the linux server, if I am on the linux box i can ftp itself using any of the web domains or ips its assosicated with)
so I am hoping as a last ditch effort before i reformat the linux box some guru here can help.. here is some info if it helps:
Windows XP box:
Ethernet adapter Hard Wired 100mps:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : bc.hsia.telus.net
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 64.180.111.82
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.248.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 64.180.104.254
Linux Box (mandrake 9.0):
inet: 142.179.67.159
bcast: 142.179.67.255
mask: 255.255.254.0
I took the hardware router off the network to elimante that possibility, both mahcines are directly connected to the Modem via a standard switch, and both are reciving the Static IP'S given from my ISP.
I am not sure what changed when the IPS changed, but something happend (I did not hardcode or change any settings on either machine, I just released/renewd my windows machine and rebooted the linux server and they both attatched to the given IPS automatically.
THe Ip change happened three days ago, so I dont really thing its any sort of DNS issue (the DNS server is third party DNS service outside the network)
HELP!
