Cannot ping computers on network

6 Jan 2007 6:10 PM

Dave

I have a small office network with Windows 2003 server and Windows XP
workstations.

Although all of the computers are on the same internal subnet
(192,168.200.x), I cannot ping the XP workstations.   I can ping the Windows
2003 server but not the workstations.

I recently installed the Windows Live One software on the workstations
could this be the problem?

Windows Live OneCare includes a firewall that has to be properly
configured to allow access by other computers on the LAN.

Hello Dave,

You can easily allow these requests being made to your computer. To do so,
follow these steps:

1. Double-click the Windows Live OneCare icon in the notification area.
2. Click View or Change Settings, and then click the Firewall tab.
3. Click Advanced settings.
4. Click Ports and Protocols.
5. Check/Uncheck ICMP v4 Inbound checkbox.
