No Ping on some workstations

[Terry]

What would cause (or what configuration) on a workstation (windows XP Pro) on
a Domain, to not allow ping?

I have two workstations both XP Pro SP 3 that I cannot ping from the server.
The server is new and I know there is no controls or policies set there. The
firewall is turned off and the antivirus is MS Essentials.

thanks

Do you have a Cisco VPN client installed on those machines? The Cisco
VPN client includes a firewall that is active even when the VPN client
isn't. If so, turn it off from the VPN Client "Options" menu.

HTH,

No, there is not Cisco VPN client running. The router is a Linksys but
nothing special there.

Why is the firewall turned off? That is up to you and your
configuration of course...

In the workstations that are not responding, verify that Allow
incoming echo requests is enabled so the system can respond to a ping.

Control Panel, Security Center, Windows Firewall, Advanced, ICMP -
check the box.

Compare the settings with workstations that do respond to a ping.
