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

[Tahnesha Pinckney]

Well, unfortunately, for some reason, I seem to do things the hard way. 
What I mean is, the windows machines all have a 198.200.194.*. naming
convention and the linux machines have a 192.100.115.*. naming
convention.  Since both use the same subnet mask, theoretically, I
should be able to ping between the two.  But, that doesn't seem to be
the case.

Those services don't mean anything for non-M$ boxes.  You should
attempt 
to ping using the numeric address not the name

ping 192.168.3.1

If the mask is 255.255.255.0 then the first three 
octets of all the machines must be the same, or at least that is the 
easiest way to do it.
