Lost network connection with a Win 2k pc

[weewillie]

Running vista business on a hp 6715b laptop

Have a home network which has been stable for ages
Suddenly the 2k pc has lost network connectivity to the vista pc and
also internet via router

I can ping the win2k pc from vista by name, but I can't ping the vista
pc from the win2k pc

Any ideas?

I would check the firewall settings first.

I would check the firewall settings first.

I'm not very knowledgeable in this area
But how could these settings have been changed one day to the next
when I'm in charge?
