[KLUG Members] IP Routing and other issues...

[Tahnesha Pinckney]

Well, that might be the flaw...they're all connected to a HP Procurve
10/100 auto-sensing switch.  There is no internet connectivity via cable
modem yet and there are no specific servers named however all machines
are running TCP/IP with Workstation and Browser services.   They are all
on the same subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 but the Windows machines have a
different IP naming convention than the Linux mahcines do (for
differentiating purposes).  Basically, I'm just trying to get the
computers in the Linux workgroup to see the computers on the Windows
workgroup.

What IPs/gateways/subnet masks are all the machines setup with?
How are they physically connected?
