Fedora Shutting Doors to Outside World

[matt_thumper]

Hi,

Configuration Information:
I have a Windows 7 box and a new Fedora Linux box (both are just regular home-use Dell PCs).

Both access the Internet via my Netgear DGN2200 and they are physically connected to it.

When I log into the NetGear administration portion of the router I see both devices
(192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3).

What I can do:
1) As I said, I can get to the Internet from both boxes.
2) I can log into that adminstrator portion of the router thru its Browser interface (by going to 192.168.0.1) either thru the Fedora box or the Windows box.
3) I can ping both machines and get responses/data from both machines regardless of whether I am on Windows 7 (cmd.exe) or Fedora (regular old terminal/shell).
4) While I am in Fedora, I can even ssh into the Windows box and do commands.
5) I can generally reference either machine by its IP address or the device name it is assigned
(say for this example, "Windows7Box" and "FedoraBox").

And here is the REAL problem, What I CAN'T do:
I can't get INTO the Fedora box from the Windows box:
1) I can't PUtty over to it (ssh, rlogin, telnet).
It usually responds with a timed out connection,
but I also have seen connection refused
2) The Fedora Box is running my own personal Web site - internally (not on the Web), through Apache.
It is a fully functional site including CGI scripts.
But I cannot access it from the Windows box either thru 192.168.0.3 or "FedoraBox"
(or for that matter, httpee://192.168.0.3, httpee://FedoraBox, httpee://192.168.0.3/index.html, httpee://FedoraBox.html, ad nauseum)
Here too, I get connection timed out.
3) In my Windows 7 box I run the MKS toolkit - ksh in this case - and from ksh in Windows 7, I can't rlogin, rsh, ssh or telnet into the Linux (Fedora) box.
4) I even installed Samba and configured it - but I get the same results.
That is, I cannot access the filesystem (directory and files) on the Linux box FROM the Windows 7 box.

Generally, I have been root to try this stuff out - except for obvious stuff like the Web browser.

Can anyone tell me why the Fedora box has it's doors closed to the outside world -
except for its working Internet connection and simplistic 'ping' capability?

Thanks, Matt

Have you tried fiddling with SELinux or whatever Fedora is calling the Firewall tool...it maybe SELinux or something has blocked access to all your ports.

Thanks for the reply.

I have the firewalls on both boxes (McAfee on W7 and system-config-firewall 1.2.25 on Fedora) disabled. However, I get the all the same results whether they are up or down.
