Hi Budd,

Could you post the results of an ipconfig /all from both systems?

If you can't ping, I doubt this is the issue because the default setting is
to allow incoming ICMP Echo requests, but what are your Windows Firewall
settings for the NICs? On, On with exceptions (like File and Printer
Sharing), Off?

Thanks,
=d=
