WindowsXP machine cannot be pinged

[Richard Tabbert]

I am running and ethernet 100mg network with static IP
addresses. I have an XP laptop that can Ping servers and
workstations but i cannot ping that laptop from the server
or workstations. WHY??? I have sharing on and all proper
DNS, tcp/ip and WINS settings in properly. This machine
runs great on network and gets all its drive mappings and
works fine. I have a program that needs to see this laptop
using IP addressing fron the server and it cant.

I presume that your pinging the correct IP also?

any firewall software installed? are the pc's all on the
same subnet (i know, dumb question) and have the
appropriate netmask?
