can you help me znx
you dont need to do anything .. the firewall blocks pings .. that the way it should be
nice and a
safe

i see
but from my windows xp i need to go folder in fedora to trasfer data
not let me
becouse if from windows xp search computer do 192.168.1.10 fedora ip not find it
you cant do that unless the folder is shared on fedora .. with samba
shared yes
irid: if its shared .. then mount it ?
\FEDORA_IPsharename
no

i dont have ping from xp windows
from fedora to xp yes
but xp to fedora no
irid: you dont need ping..
its not related to ping ..
if from windows xp there is no ping to fedora i cant contect
thats not true
the firewall with fedora is blocking pings ..
but it will not be blocking everything
ohhhh
folder name on fedora is buckup33
and you have set it shared with samba/
yes i put in samba
know in windows what i need to do
irid: \ipbuckup33 .. the ip is the fedora ip
