    REDHAT NIC question

    I have set up redhat + network card, I can ping it and ping it from any windows machine in the orgainsation + telnet to it. . I can connect to the internet with it but am unable to ping it from home..... Any ideas why?

    Sounds like your company's intranet is behind a firewall, which doesn't let incoming connections from the internet... this is a common security pratice.

      Make sure it has a qualified IP not 10.1.* or 168.*
