Re: Can't ping

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Well...

I ran a Network Monitor. It shows the packets getting to the server from the
client -- from 192.168.16.11 to 192.168.16.2.

I ran your sox utility and it shows: "socket exception occurred .... blah,
blah ..... connected host has failed to respond."

That's a pretty slick util.

So it looks to me that the server is not allowing a response. I just don't
know enough about SBS to know what could be doing that.
