Rob,
Any software firewalls (ICF or third party) on either computer? Ever?
From each computer:
1) Ping the other by name.
2) Ping the other by ip address.
3) Ping itself by name.
4) Ping itself by ip address.
5) Ping 127.0.0.1.
6) Ping 192.168.2.1 (router).
Report success / failure of each of 12 pings.
Please provide ipconfig information for each computer.
Start - Run - "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in
Notepad, copy and paste into your next post.
Cheers,
Chuck
Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.
.
Thanks for the help Chuck. Here are the results:
System #1 - All pings except for the router (timed out)
were good. It is a D-Link DSS8+ 8 port switch.
System #2 - All pings gave the following error message
(except for localhost 127.0.0.1): "PING: transmit failed,
error code 65."
The following is a c & p of the ipconfig /all logs:
System #1 - Can see system #2 in network neighborhood but
can't access.
