[Durham] Windows 7 and Linux

[Rob Swan]

Hi,

Haven't made any meetings yet, Sorry. But no transport at present and 
Hartlepool to Durham ain't easy in the evenings. Should be along later 
in the year and if anyone knows a cello teacher in Durham my wife can 
take a lesson with while I attend the group, that's a bonus. Off topic 
but on topic ;-P

Having problems getting Win7 to see my Linux box on home network and 
wondering if anyone can help. I don't know modern Windows that well. 
Have Duck'd (DuckDuckGo, I don't Google unless I have to) extensively 
and none of the suggested solutions I've found seem to work.

I have BT Hub 5 (business version) with Linux box (Debian 8) on wired 
connection and Windows 7 (Home Premium) using WiFi, both direct off the 
BT Hub. I want to be able to use Windows Telnet client to access my 
Linux box. Windows box can ping the hub but can't see anything else.

Getting more than a little frustrated. Can't believe (even with Windows) 
it's supposed to be this tricky. Next attempt may be the lump hammer!

Any help much appreciated.

Rob
