Yes, all the XP computers can ping each other. I think it is something to do
with the wireless filters on my wireless access point. The default setting
allows traffic to the access point and to the upstream device, which I think
is the server in my case, which is what is happening. I then need to allow
access either by IP address or MAC address to the other stations , but am
having some trouble working out the syntax for this. Hopefully I'll get
there eventually....

Can all XP computers ping each other? Or post back the result of ipconfig
/all.

We have a simple network running Small Business Server 2003 and with 3 XP
SP2 PCs connected to it. There is also a wireless access point to enable
a wireless CE device to access the network. The device can connect to the
WAP and I can ping the WAP (IP Address 192.168.1.1) and the server
(192.168.1.2) from the device successfully. The problem is that I cannot
ping any of the 3 XP PCs. My first thought was that it was something to
do with Windows Firewall, so I tried to disable it. At first it wouldn't
let me because it said settings were controlled by Group Policy, but
eventually I found the Group Policy Settings for Windows Firewall and
disabled it. On the XP PC the connection no longer says 'Firewalled' but
I have no Advanced Tab so I am not really sure if I have done it
correctly. What I would like to do is disable the group settings and
control the firewall from the XP PC (or install a different firewall to
the XP one.) However, it has not helped because I still cannot ping the
networked PCs.
My 2 questions are 1) Have I disabled the firewall correctly? (once I
have proved it is the firewall I will re-enable it and set it up
properly) and 2) If it is not the firewall, what else could it be? Thanks
for any help in advance.
