WRT54G pings under WinXP, not Linux. Why?

Pinging 192.168.1.1 via WiFi works for WinXP but not under Linux (Slackware
10.1, kernel 2.6.15.4).

(Via cable the ping is fine; I have full internet access on the Linux WiFi
connection.)

Is this something to do with the 'Block Anonymous Internet Requests' being
checked?

Many thanks for any pointers...

your later message indicates "host unreachable". That generally means
the IP configuration is invalid. Check your config under linux is
correct - sensible IP address, correct netmask, correct default
gateway.

I posted the thread from this Linux box!

Like I said, via cable the ping is fine; I have full internet access on
the Linux WiFi
connection.
