i've centos7.5 in both server and client in VMware. i can ping from client to server succesfully but i can not ping from server to client. mine /etc/hosts files are :-
server:
Code:192.168.40.3 centos75client centos75client.db.net
192.168.40.1 centos75dns centos75dns.db.netand same as this, is client's /etc/hosts file.
I set on both server and client firewall runtime and permanent ftp and dns enabled and added in both trusted and public and also added 53 and 21 port numbers.
this I set in both server and client.
output of ping from server to client :-
Code:[root@centos75dns centos75]# ping centos75client
