[clug] Networking problem

[Prometheus]

Hi,
 
I have a problem with my home network. I have one gentoo box and a
windows box, and I have been pinging each machine to make sure the
network is ok. The windows box can ping the gentoo box, but the gentoo
box can't ping the windows box.  I have added the ip address of the
windows box to the /etc/hosts file of the gentoo box, but still getting
no where. Any ideas?
