A very Peculiar Network Situation - minus the pelican
Currently sitting on desk I have 3 machines, 3 Operating Systems.
Win7 Home Pro on an Asus CM5570 - ethernet
OS X Leopard on a G4 Powerbook - wifi
Lucid Lynx Ubuntu on a Compaq Presario - ethernet
and a Belkin Surf wireless router
Nothing fancy - all OEM network adapters, all machines can connect to the internet just fine - My Windows machine is on a Homegroup with my gf's laptop as well.
Now here is the weird part - Zfter a few hours of finagling my network connections I can:
Share my Win7 to my Mac but unable to share my Mac to PC
I can Share my Mac with my Ubuntu machine, but cannot share Ubuntu to Mac
I can see my Ubuntu machine in my Win7 Network connections but cannot access it.
So it goes like this: Win -> Mac -> Ubuntu ~> Win
So each machine can get a piece of each other - but most concerning is my lack of being able to access either Ubuntu/Mac from My Win machine.
What am I missing with my Windows network sharing (no gpedit for this version of windows) - I don't think this is router related because I have pieces shared between the machines.
I'm so close to getting it all tied together!
