I have two servers: one with Debian 4 on it and one with Microsoft

just fine except for one client. He can connect to the Windows server
but not the Debian server. I had him first try to ping it using the
domain that points to the Debian server. It pulled up the right IP
address but timed out. I then had him ping the IP address. This too
timed out. He has 2 computers in his house and both are doing the same
thing. Nobody else has this problem; they are able to connect to both.
Does anyone have any idea of what could be causing this? Is it
something I setup incorrectly on the Debian Server? I'm not even sure
where to go with this anymore. I appreciate any help and suggestions
you can offer!

He has a problem. What distro is he running?

If it is a Ubuntu, it could be the ipv6. Although some folks who don't
tell us the distro they are using might be using an Ubuntu Distro. It
uses a different Ipv6 than most Linux distros. More info here:

He's not running Linux. He is using Windows XP.
And, the Samba server and client are both running?
He isn't using the most recent Microsoft updates that reconfigure the
server access defaults?

Still, HE has the problem, not you. Why? Everyone else can access the
servers. He has trouble with one of his machines accessing one of your
servers. The world isn't wrong, one unit is.

That screams out that his config is screwed. Probably by a recent
auto-update from Microsoft that wiped out a config file or item,
replacing it with something broken or different.


Samba is not in use. All the server has on it is Apache and that is what the Windows XP computer can't access. It can't even ping the Debian server. But it doesn't have a problem getting into the Windows 2003 Server system.
