Re: Unable to Ping a local host

Rather than disabling the firewall - check ICMP settings and verify that
"allow incoming echo request" is enabled.

Jim,
Good point. I've also thought out it, but have disabled the firewall.

I have multiple XP (3) & Win 2000 (1) systems on a home (workgroup)
network
running through a internet gateway. I have no problems sharing the
internet
with all the systems. The problem is, I'm unable to ping one of my
systems.
I've made sure all the settings are correct. The funny thing is that
on
the
system that I can not ping, it will ping other systems. Any help would
be
greatly appreciated.
Perhaps the firewall on the misbehaving system is blocking ping requests,
but the firewalls on the rest of the computers aren't.
