Not sure if this is the right spot to post, but here goes.
I'm using a linux box to wirelessly network a linux station and a windows laptop. The linux station is still communicating fine, but I had to reformat my windows laptop thanks to a VERY aggressive spyware program (starware) that refused to be removed even manually in the registry.
Now, I can't get the laptop and linux box to recognize each other. I know the IP's are correct as well as the gateway and workgroup. I even swapped the wireless cards from the linux station and laptop incase I damaged it somehow but no go. What am I missing here?
Also, I forgot where the list is located in linux to allow only certain local IP's access thru the firewall, any hints?
Thanks!
