My first question over here. I am struggling with getting a share working properly. Please advise whether the logs and prints are viable and what else you may need.

I have a pretty-much corrupted Vista notebook that is blue-screening on USB plug in/plug out. The notebook is close to end its lifespan so I don't bother fixing it.

I want to plug my HDD to my ubuntu netbook which serves me as a remote storage basically. This way I can skip the awful BSoD on Vista if the HDD gets unplugged by mistake.

My network consists of Thomson modem which receives the Internet signal. It is wired to DIR-600 DLink wireless router to which my devices are connecting.

I have connected USB drive to my Ubuntu netbook, performed shares-admin share with R/W permissions. And I tried mapping that drive from Windows machine, the fun begins:

C:\Windows\system32>ping 192.168.0.12

Pinging **192.168.0.12** with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from **192.168.0.101**: Destination host unreachable.
Reply from 192.168.0.101: Destination host unreachable.
Reply from 192.168.0.101: Destination host unreachable.
Reply from 192.168.0.101: Destination host unreachable.

While, 192.168.0.101 is the Vista machine which I am pinging from. I started wondering what happens, the ARP /ICMP issue? Why is my machine even in the list of route? IPconfig /all from my Windows machine:

I am sorry but due to lack of much time I will continue this thread today's evening, providing some extracts from my Ubuntu. Please advise if at this point there is anything you can suggest to boost this further on.

The status message "Destination host unreachable." most likely means that your windows box cannot even resolve a MAC address to send to (i.e. ARP-layer problem as you mentioned).

I assume you are sure that 192.168.0.12 is indeed the IP of the linux box. Did you try pinging in the other direction?
