Aaron Konstam: Re: Network strangeness

I have two machines on a home network:
cyrus - wireless
saturn - wired

On cyrus : ping saturn and host saturn both fail saying saturn can't
be
found. However, ssh saturn works.

On saturn: ping cyrus works but host cyrus fails.
ssh cyrus, works

I don't use iptables. Any explanations for this behavior?

Errors are like:
** server can't find saturn: NXDOMAIN

I suspect that some things use the local /etc/host bu others do not.

Have you checked the configuration on the wireless access point or
router? My Linksys router has a firewall built into it. I have not
modified its settings and it blocks inbound ICMP.

This should've gone out ~5 hours ago. I Hope there is still a chance it
might be useful.
