I've got a two machine peer-to-peer network, both machines running WinXP.
Machines are connected to a hub, with an ADSL modem also connected to the
hub. Both machines have TCP/IP installed for internet access, and Netbeui
for file sharing. I can surf the net on both machines, and I can share files
between machines. But I can't ping one machine from the other!!?? (I'm
pinging using IP address). I get "Request timed out". Firewall is turned
off on both machines.
I installed a packet sniffer on both machines, and I can see the ICMP packet
being sent from the source machine, and being received by the destination
machine, but a return packet is not sent. This happens no matter which
machine I do it from.
One of the machines can dual boot to Win98 as well, so I tried doing it
between WinXP and Win98 ... I get exactly the same thing.
I would appreciate any help given.
