Networking problem

Drakin316 · 03-21-2006, 12:10 PM

computer 1 can ping computer 2. computer 2 can not ping to computer 1. I can get to the internet. Both of these are running windows XP Pro both are P4's. I don't have any software firewalls on them, they seem to be configured correctly but don't know what's happening. Anyone know what may be causing this?

you need to give some information, such as the IP addresses of both machines

Drakin316 · 03-21-2006, 02:23 PM

both machines are on the same subnet 10.3.26.x

if they share the same subnet, and you can't ping a machine, you for sure have a ZA or whatever thing dropping the IMCP/6 packages, so the ping isn't answered. If A can ping B, and B cannot ping A then A is dropping ping packages and not responding them. Communication between A and B is guaranteed to exist, because a ping is a back and forth action, so the physical and protocol routing work fine. It's an application level problem.
