hi there,
ust recently i noticed i cant ping any pcs on my home network, i havent changed any settings and i used to be able to ping, i can seem to broswe shared folders either. I have the machines connected to a Netgear WGR614v6, which in turn is connected to a dlink DSL 504T (free jetstream router) the netgear router is providing DHCP and DNS, and the machines can access the net perfectly (im using one right now to type this) i can ping the router and successfully get a reply, and im not using an third party firewall....help would be greatly appreciated |

It would seem to me that if services are working (e.g. internet) then ping must be working but is being blocked by something (usually a firewall). If you have not changed anything this does seem a bit odd. |

If you can ping the router but not the other machine (but both are online / working fine) then I would suggest its a firewall setting blocking pings on one / each / both machines :) |

i have disabled every firewall but still no change, funny enough the router doesnt show any machines connected to it, yet im on the net now (downloading some video codecs)......its very odd. I am not using any 3rd party firewalls, just the Windows XP SP2 firewall, i disbaled it and tried to ping, using the DNS name, i got an error saying the host could not be found (if i ping the computer from its self i get a OK response so the coard is fine) if i ping using an IP address (192.168.1.16) i get a response timed out. Is it something to with SPI on the router? |
