Hi,
I'm having trouble connecting to an Apache server on my local
network. The client machine is running Windows Vista (home
premium) and connected via a wireless interface to our router,
the server is running Fedora Core 6 (Linux) and also connected
wirelessly.
Using Firefox or Internet explorer I cannot connect to the server
(192.168.0.10 on my network), though I can connect to the wider
internet. I can connect to the server if either I plug the client
machine into the router (using the ethernet interface instead)
or start the client in Fedora 8 (either wireless or ethernet
interface). I can also connect to the web-based administration
menu for the router without difficulty in all cases.
Also (and rather tortuously), if I connect to the wireless network
at work and use ssh forwarding to connect to my home network
I can access to the server using Vista.
This leads me to believe the problem is something to do with
the way the wireless network is set up on the Vista machine,
but I'm not quite sure how that would have got broken. As
far as I know all I ever did was start it up and tell it what
network it should connect to. Any thoughts?
(As an aside, how do I persuade the telnet client to send
CRLF?)
Thanks for your time.
