Re: XP Home edition can not ping Host machine

I thought it was a network monitor only ... thanks for the confirmation

It does not open up your PC to any outsider. If you don't
trust it, perform your tests while your Internet connection
is dead, then uninstall it.

Can you put my mind to rest and confirm that Ethereal only works inside my
network and can not be used to hack into my machine ??

See my first reply:
"You should also drop the speed of all network adapters
10 MBits/s simplex during your tests." (=half duplex).

I'm afraid assisting you through an analysis of Ethereal
is beyond the scope of a newsgroup-based exchange
of notes.

OK the adapter is set to Full autonegotiation .. Iget an option
nearest to
your suggestion of Force 10 Half or Full Duplex .. which one should I
use
??
should it be changed for the Problem machine only i.e M1 ?? and is
this
only
for the test i.e should I return it to Full auton once I have done

I started Ethereal .. Wow .. looks like it detects things that might
give
me
some answers ( have not changed speed yet ) ... cAN YOU GUIDE ME
THROUGH
A
SIMPLE TEST pINGING FROM m1 to M2 .. the vis versa so that I can try
to
establish the packets lost ..

Only if you have the time .. if it is not possible to help me I will
understand

Don't know - I'm not familiar with this adapter. If unsure,
replace it with a different adapter.

Is 1394 Net Adapter #2 .. on M1 a factor in my problem ??

The speed and duplex settings of a network adapter
are accessible in the usual way, i.e. by right-clicking
it and examining its properties.

Hi Pegasus

I will try to find this tool ( is it a freeware tool ) I will
google
it ..

Ps How do I change the speed on my network adapter the current
test
sends
32
bytes of data x 4 replies for each ... M1 Times out .. i.e no
replies???
NVIDA nForce Networking Controller Pack .. M1 & M2 have the
same
adapter
M3
has a Dell Wireless 1350 WLAN Mini PCI Card, all 3 Machines
also
have
a
1394
Net adapter

... Ahh just noticed M1 ( the one I can not ping to ) under
Device
Manager
is called 1394 Net Adapter #2 .. M2 + M3 says 1394 Net Adapter
without
the
#2
.. what is #2 ???

Thanks for your interest

Use a network sniffer (e.g. Ethereal) so that you can
find out where the ping packets get stuck.

You should also drop the speed of all network adapters
10 MBits/s simplex during your tests.

Hello all

This is an attempt to sort out a Ping error that I get
when I
try
to
ping
my
host machine from the other 2 Machines on my Network M1
being
the
host.

My problem is that I can not ping to M1 from M2 or M3 ???
but
I
can
Ping
M1
from M1 of course -- I can Ping M2 to M3 or vis versa
works ..
Ping M1
to
M2
or M3 works as well


My set up is M1,M2,M3 M= Machine .. each has XP Home
edition
installed
with
Service Pack 2
I cleaned the registry of any left over folder & file
locking
software
that
I previously had & re-booted
I have re made my network wizard for each machine giving
the
workgroup
a different name each time I try to reslove this ( same
name
for
M1,M2+M3
of
course ) I have no Norton software installed on M1 at all.

I have NET BIOS Enabled to Default ( Advanced TCP/IP etc
WINS
folder )
as I have static IP Address's for M1,M2 & M3 ... as thay
are
on my
network
and I also login to them remtly from outside my network so
they
must
have
static internal ip addresses

but I still can not ping to M1 from M2 or M3 ??? but I can
still
Ping
M1
from M1 of course
I have used the use the netsh command to reset the TCP/IP
protocol
stack
i,e
for winsock & interface command.resetlog.tx but this hs
not
worked
I
am at
a
stand still ?? can anybody shed any light on this

node is set to broadcast on all 3 machines .. ipconfig/all
I have made sure the guest accounts have blanks passwords

Windows firewall is disabled, the firewall active is the
2wire
HG
1800
(
my
router )

any help on this would be very helpfull .. if anything
needs
more
explanation please do not hesitate to ask as I am all ears
