unable to ping my server host computer from any outside computer
Hi
I have the latest version of Ubuntu Feisty. I am unable to ping my host computer (the computer my Samba server is running on) from an outside computer (I have tried 4 different computers). I am also having trouble pinging websites such as google or yahoo from my host computer; however, I have internet connectivity. I am operating behind a linksys wireless router acting as a dhcp server (firewall disabled). I've pasted the smb.conf file and some ping statistics below. Any help would be appreciated
