After working with the copied smb.conf , it has reverted back to its earlier state.
So it looks like something is actively changing it.
SELinux is in permissive mode, the ip address is correct at 192.168.101.0/24
I never use 192.168.1.0/24 as thats the first address subnet a hacker will look for.
Same smb.conf on both machines, This one Debian Wheezy, g8jvm-server, and the laptop runing FC16, laptop,
Code:

This is really giving me grief
I double checked access to the laptop, killed virtualbox which runs in bridged mode, and pinged the laptop
and got:-
Code:
From 192.168.101.8 icmp_seq=31 Destination Host Prohibited
From 192.168.101.8 icmp_seq=32 Destination Host Prohibited
The firewall is OK, is there anything can change the config ?
SELinux is definatly in permissive mode,
Disabling the firewall has no effect on the ping response freo the laptop.
I can ping this machine from the laptop

But a traceroute times out
I had no problem until I installed a damn VM, as I need to bits of s/w that wont run on linux.
This is not logical, wel not my logic
TIA

Hi
here's the problem
system-config-firewall is available to the user with user password.
To change the firewall iptables requires root access
So when virtualbox was installed it altered the firewall directly, prohibiting icmp
As system-config-firewall only requires a user password it can't alter iptables..
NICE ONE,,,,,NOT
I'll hunt through the repos for a proper firewall front end.
