For some reason I can’t connect to or ping a server 2k3 (enterprise) machine I just setup from my windows 7 machine.
I use DD-wrt with a wrt54g v4 router, and I’ve assigned them both static leases so they receive their same respective IPs constantly.
I can ping the w7 from the 2k3, but not the other way around – The router does show it assigned the lease and the connection is active for both machines though.
What am I missing here?
Answer
Turns out I had to click ‘finish’ on the initial setup wizard – I closed it with alt+f4 and manually configured windows update; when I restarted the computer and clicked finish it gave me a message saying ‘Oh by the way now inbound traffic will be allowed, k?’…
That was nice of Windows to protect me, I suppose. Heh.
