When trying to ping the local address for LAN on the client PC, getting
"request timed out" message. So I can not advance in creating a LAN between
the two, at the same time they are connected, cause the connection is
confirmed by its status, and the client computer can brows the net. I can not
transfer any files from one to another. I am so stuck and confused. HELP!!!!!

pinging the local address

and probably a hundred more things,- it still dosen't work.

I tried to follow offered solutions in the links.....

SOS! SOS! SOS!

Michael,

We'll try to help you here, but you have to calm down, and try and describe with
a bit more detail what your problem is. Please start by reading some of my
articles:

It's possible that a firewall on the client PC is blocking access.

Thank you so much, guys, for attending to my problem. I will now try to
discribe the problem again and provide additional information.

I am trying to set a home network between tow laptops. The host is Win XP,
Media adition, the client- Win XP Pro. Both have SP2 installed.
The host computer seems to be acting good and can ping itself and
somestimes, even, see the client PC, but can not acces it neither ping it. So
the problem is with the client PC.
So when I tried to ping locan LAN address (both automatic and manual
configurated addresses) I get a "request timed out four times"
I reset values in restrictanonymous to "0" on both machines,
ran "browstat" command,
reset guest passwords on both,
guest user acconts are active.
WINS settings on both have enabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
I also tried to disable firewalls on both.

I would much appriciate any help with the issue.
And I would like to mention here that my privious issue with input languages
I solved, reading Chuck's respronses to other people with the same language
issue in the net browser.

Thanks, Steve, I tried that too. Doesn't work. Also both laptops have same
firewall settings.

Please read my fallow up message to Chuck's reply. Thank you so much.

Michael,

How are the two computers connected? Do you know, for a certainty, that they
are connected, reliably? One of the basic checks is whether the network cable
is connected to a host (computer or other network device) at the other end, and
the status lights on a desktop network card are very useful here. With a
laptop, you don't get the status lights.

Please start by providing output from "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all",
complete and unedited, so we can decide what to look at next.

Hi Chuck,

I do have connection status lights at the back of each laptop, and also I
enabled notification icons for it in the taskbar. The other thing as I
mentioned before, the client laptop has internet through the host.

Glad to help, Michael (hoping that I can).

OK, the physical part is not the problem. That's good. So let's diagnose the
higher level problems. Take the following code (everything inside the "#####").
(Please verify computer names and ip addresses).

1. Open Notepad. Ensure that Format - Word Wrap is not checked. Highlight
then Copy the code (Ctrl-C), precisely as it is presented, and Paste (Ctrl-V)
into Notepad. Verify, and correct, names and addresses if necessary.
2. Save the Notepad file as "cdiag.cmd", as type "All Files", into the root
folder "C:\".
3. Run it by Start - Run - "c:\cdiag".
4. Wait patiently.
5. When Notepad opens up displaying c:\cdiag.txt, first check Format and
ensure that Word Wrap is NOT checked! Then, copy the entire contents (Ctrl-A
Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) into your next post.

Do this from all computers, please, with all computers powered up and online.

Michael,

This is not trouble. This is a challenge. I don't back down from challenges
easily, either. The fun part is, you have to do all of the work. ;)

Let's start with Orlandina. The only successful test of Orlandina is that
Orlandina can net view itself, by name. Period. Name resolution is not a
problem here, both computers can resolve each others, and their own, names.

So, you need to check Orlandina. Look for problems with a firewall, and for LSP
/ Winsock corruption.

Hi, Chuck,

It was around 5 a.m. here in Australia when I received your last reply, I
tried for about another half an hour and had to go sleep.
Today I checked Orlandina once again and discovered that regardless turning
off the Windows firewall and Norton Antivirus, Norton Internet Security was
still running in the background with another firewall "on". SO EMBARRASSING!!!
Of course, when I turned it off the client laptop was able to ping itself.
All I had to do was, to run Home Network Wizard setup again and it's all
working now.

Thank you so much for your help. My stupid mistake led to learning so many
new things, so that is the good part of it.
