Client Connectivity

[handeeman]

The client box is a 2k pro connected to a 2k adv ser via a lynksis router. The client machine can ping the internet successfully but can not be accessed from the server. The server box uses dhcp to issue the client ip address. The client can ping the server but the server can not ping the client. The client can be seen from the server in the my network places icon group, as all machines are visible from the server, however; no machines on the network are visible from the client. How can I view and access the rest of the network from the client machine?

A couple of questions:

How many machines connected to the router?

IS DHCP disabled on the router?

Are there filters on the router for that port/ip?

Are static ip being used on the network?

Way out there....is there firewall software on the client? Hewissa

are the two machines part of the same workgroup , Now if you say you are running dhcp on the server wich i do not see a need for being that the linksys router would be your DCHP SERVER or act like one . other than that you would be using the linksys router infront of the server for a separate subnet .and using the server as a router for an internal network ! Are you running dns on the server as per say in dns you would have to create a reverse look up zone to look at the 192.168.1.x network but being that the linksys router as the normal ip scheme 192.168.1.100 with defaut gateway of 192.168.1.1 it is going to be able to hit the server if its hooked up to the linksys router but nothing behind the server past that nic card . what i seem to think you have is a dmz so nothing behind the server can be seen from the client on the linksys router .......... like i said before looks like you have to create a reverse look up zone in dns then you should be able to hit the clint box using the ping utility ............ infront of your server .....
