Server linux install & access from desktop

[vsmurali111]

Hi,

I have a HP DL380 G3 server.

I have installed Red Hat Linux 5 on to this server.

I have a KVM switch which i am using to share the keyboard, mouse and monitor.

I have connected the ethernet cables from server to a netgear 5-port switch.

I also have a HP pavilion desktop with Windows xp installed in it.

I have connected the network cable from this desktop to the netgear switch.

I have putty installed in my desktop and trying to access the server since they
are in the same network.

At the server, i started the network gui and set the eth0 and eth1 appropriate
IP addresses. I have verified their existence in both /etc/hosts and by running the
command ifconfig.

From the desktop, when i ping the server broadcast IP address, i am able to ping it.

I am not able to access the server IP address.

For example, from the desktop,

ping 192.168.1.255 works fine.

ping 192.168.1.100 times out.

What am i missing here?

How can i troubleshoot this issue?

Thanks much.

So complicated question. There are much of possibilities that cause this problem such as firewall, cable connection issues ... I think you should narrow the problem,

Cables are ok; he can ping it. Firewall is the issue. Be sure you allow remote login on the host machine.

This might be too simple, but are eth0 and eth1 both activated?
