Windows server: 192.168.0.10 Linux server: 192.168.0.1 Network printer: 192.168.0.30

192.168.0.0/24 site to site with 192.168.1.0/24

On a computer on second subnet (192.168.1.32) I can ping the Linux server & the network printer, even remote desktop to a 192.168.0.xx computers but can not ping any computer on the 192.168.0.xx network or connect to the server shared drive.

What does an Xerox network printer & Linux server have to be seen but not Windows 10?

I am trying to connect the 192.168.1.x computer to the server as the end result.

Thanks to everyone in advance.

Windows firewall blocks ping by default unless you have applied a group policy or local setting to allow ping

  • but how about the drive mappings? Start > Run > \\server I can't find the server from any of the 3 computers on the 192.168.1.0/24 network. But the Linux (Samba) server is totally open for drive mappings. I know I am missing something simple and can't remember what it is. – Hardened Criminal Sep 06 '20 at 02:57
  • There is a build in firewall rule for File and Printer Sharing you can enable to allow that traffic – Garrett Sep 06 '20 at 02:59
  • I have turned off the Windows Defender firewall just to make sure it wasn't the problem. My Win 10 build allows "ping" naturally to all other computers. – Hardened Criminal Sep 06 '20 at 14:55
  • Windows blocks incoming pings, outgoing is allowed by default – Garrett Sep 07 '20 at 05:53
