Hi

I have a HP Laptop running Windows XPsp2 which has connected to my domain
with out any problems it can browse the network and access any resources also
without any problems.

I can ping any resource from the laptop but i cannot ping to the laptop
itself. I have checked the ip configuration and tried both with the Windows
firewall enabled and disabled. There is no other norton software installed

Any suggestions
 
Do you have another security software running?

Michael,

What Norton software is installed? Norton includes many features, some of which
are not obvious.

What error do you get from the ping? You might get one of several, and each
possibility will have differing causes.

I have no suggestions, but I have the same problem. I have a Windows XP
(SP2) machine, two other Windows XP machines and a Linux box. The first
XP box can ping, and connect to all the shares, on the network. None of
the other machines can ping the first XP box, and although they can see
the XP machine, they can't browse them or connect to the shares. The
other machines can ping, browse and access shares amongst themselves
quite happily, but since the printer is attached to the first machine,
this doesn't help.

I have tried most of the obvious things - I have Norton Internet
Security running on the 1st XP box, but I removed it and disabled the XP
firewall, no joy. I removed all the services except TCP/IP from the
network card, no difference. I have run Windows XP network diagnostics,
it says it's fine. I have upgraded the network card driver - a Realtek
RTL8139, no improvement. However, I don't think it's a network card
issue since I plugged in a wireless network card after disabling the
Realtek and exactly the same thing happened.

I believe the incoming ping requests are making it through to the
Realtek network interface because if I look at the status while pinging,
the number of incoming packets goes up by one with each ping, but there
is nothing going out.

I'm out of ideas.

Regards,
Ian.

Hi Ian,

I can see a few things to check, but this would be better done in a separate
thread.

I had the very same symptoms on a new Dell (Latitude 820 Laptop). Windows
firewall was disabled (in the Group Policy as it happens) and the symptoms
affected both wired and wireless network connections.

There were occasional events in the App log from the TrueVector service,
which happens to be part of ZoneAlarm personal firewall. Zone Alarm had never
intentionally been installed on the machine and did not show up as an
installed program. There was, however, VSINIT.dll in both System32 and i386.

Performing a full Zone Alarm install, followed by an uninstall, fixed the
problem.
