Cannot ping my computer

[NightOwl]

My stand-alone home computer is running Windows XP Pro and Norton Internet
Security 2005.

It cannot be pinged.

What could be the problem?

Thanks.

Norton Internet Security? Just a wild guess.

It means the firewall is doing its job.

If it is truly a "stand alone" computer then it can't be pinged
because it has no network connectons - LAN, Internet or otherwise. It
"stands alone."
