I have ubuntu router questions. you can see tracert can complete on way but not other way. How to make that work?

(a better visual layout exists here) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12444760#post12444760

This way from second win7 works to first win7

C:\Users\scott>tracert 192.168.200.36

Tracing route to WIN7 [192.168.200.36]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

solved by installing webmin. Then used it to reset iptables. Seriously great tool for administering the firewall. Webmin told me 2 rules were in the iptables which it could not understand, so I save iprules to a file, did a reset and all 3 pc can share files.

a firewall is defacto running all the time with iptables, so those tables must be modified.

http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-webmin-on-ubuntu-12-04-precise-server.html

scott@scott-P5QC:~$ sudo dpkg -i webmin_1.580_all.deb Selecting previously unselected package webmin. (Reading database ... 229686 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking webmin (from webmin_1.580_all.deb) ... Setting up webmin (1.580) ... Webmin install complete. You can now login to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx as root with your root password, or as any user who can use sudo to run commands as root. Processing triggers for ureadahead ... ureadahead will be reprofiled on next reboot scott@scott-P5QC:~$
