This iw weird. I have several XP Pro PC's on a Small
Business Network with a HP JetDirect setup to a printer.
All the machines can print and ping to the Jet Direct
except one XP Pro PC. It can see and ping all the other
workstations, but not the Jet Direct. I've moved the PC
to another port location, made changeds on the NIC card,
even changed the IP address on the Jet Direct.
Nothing..Any ideas...The server IP is 192.168.16.2 the JD
is 192.168.16.9 and the PC is DHCP to 192.168.16.100...

Thanks in advance..

What's the exact text of the ping fail?
Is it a 'timeout' or an 'unreachable'?
