Cannot ping a xp media center 2005 computerI have 2 notebooks (A & B) connected wirelessly to a router(R). A is a
XP Pro system and B is a XP Media Center 2005 system. Router -> 192.168.0.1 A -> 192.168.0.100 B -> 192.168.0.101 The problem is, when B pings A it receives a response. However, when A pings B there is no response. What may be the problem? Also, if I run a web server on A, it is accessible from outside the network via port forwarding. Does not work with B, which is most likely an extension of the problem described above. Thanks, Shiv To add,
B can ping itself correctly and also works when I ping 127.0.0.1 on B.
