I've now configured my server and client to user static-ip's

My server(Linux) has an ip with 192.168.1.2
My client(also linux) has an ip with 192.168.1.3

I've set the option in hosts file from 1 to 0 (for static ip)

Well applying the command gives me:

I've no software firewall installed, nor i have a Hardwadre firewall.
I've locked at my router, which is Linksysy Wag325N, all firewall
options are disabled.
There must be a way to solve it, something is corrupting my config but
I don't no what is it.  I've searced for "Linksys Wag325n netbios" but
i didn't any solution.

Anyway thanks for helping
