I just configured a small LAN and had a heck of a time because one of the XP
computers wouldn't ping it's own IP address. This is a LAN using a Linksys
router. Internet access was always solid but the connectivity over the LAN
was problematic.
So, I'd check the XP machine by pinging itself.
127.0.0.1 worked
192.168.2.xxx did not work - ever.
After doing all the normal stack repairs, etc. the ping still didn't work.
But the workgroup finally came alive.
Any insights?
Thanks,
Fred
