Cannot ping?

I just setup a new laptop (WinXP Pro) and joined the domain (WIN 2000 Server)
Server provides DHCP, and DNS. Yet when I try to ping it cannot be found.
If I run NET VIEW I see the laptop.

Surely I am missing something ridiculously obvious.

Can anyone open my eyes to the obvious?

Thanks,
JD

The obvious thing would be to examine your IP addresses.
What are they?

You may have a firewall program on the machine you are trying to ping.
Panda and zoonealarm has as far i can se a major backdraw, and it is that
those apps still runs in background even after you turn them off.
To really shut them down, you have to disable teh services that represents
those background apps. The name for the services should be somewhere similar
to "trend micro" or "TrueVector" (zoonealarm).
Alternative, you can add the ip for the pinging machine into a "safe zone"
or something in a firewall program. Otherwise, uninstall it.
