Connected, ping to WAN works, ping to self fails. Browser fails. H

[Wondermad]

Hello,

Below are the details from a variety of tools. Basically, there are several
machines working find on the network. There is one that does not.
The machine is running winxp SP2
I cannot ping it by number from a remote machine or even from itself (though
loop ping ok). Browstat comes back with error 53.
I tried rebooting, reintalling driver, rollback driver, setting MTU lower,
LSP fix, winsock fix, disable firewall, static IP, DHCP

Nothing worked.
Any clues as to what I should pursue next would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I would check the firewall first.
Enable Ping
By design, Vista doesn’t allow any ICMP pass though the firewall and
you can’t ping it. However, you may have two options. ...

For Xp - Control panel > Firewall > Advanced tab - ICMP settings > "allow
incoming echo requests" should be checked - keep in mind that unchecked is a
security setting.
