The home edition also has the ping command. Bring up the c:> prompt |
| 8 |
and ping your Linux box address. Also, netstat -ano will show you |
| 9 |
which ip addresses your windoze box is connected to. |

On the other hand, why does it crash? Are you sure it is an OS |
| 12 |
problem and not a hardware problem? These days a properly configured |
| 13 |
and patched Windoze box should be pretty stable. |

PS. Block 135-139, 445 and 3389 ports to/from the Internet at the LAN |
| 16 |
periphery. Otherwise, your box could get backdoored before you even |
| 17 |
had a chance to run any M$Windoze updates. ;-) |
