Hello Sestratton,
You mention that the server is seeing the packets, so I'm assumming you ran
netmon on the server??? Also, when you say it shows the packets getting to
the server, please ellaborate a little more. Does that mean you are seeing
the server respond or no?
Susan, if you were initiating the ping from the client, would the XP SP 2
firewall have anything to do with blocking responses from traffic it
generates? It should only block traffic trying to initiate the conversation
to ports blocked. Is there something special about a SBS environment that
changes this?
Going off that point, Sestratton, is the XP machine joined to the domain as
Susan asks? Either way, have you tried making sure the XP firewall is
disabled and initiating the ping from the server to the client? Also, if
it's not a part of a domain, do you have a laptop with XP on it you can
manually assign an IP to and stick it in there just to see if it can
communicate with one of the machines.
To your firewall question, if this is just basic SBS, you can go into the
Server Management Console and click on "Internet & E-mail" under the right
pane click "Configure Firewall" This will prompt asking you to run the
"Configure E-mail & Internet Connection Wizard" If you go through that you
can disable the firewall settings all together in this wizard.
What the wizard is doing is basically enabling NAT and the basic firewall
feature in RRAS. Additionally you can open RRAS. Under IP Routing, click on
NAT/Basic Firewall. In the right pane, click on the Network connection which
is on the same network as the XP machine.
Right click it and select properties. There you will see a configuration
window where you can enable/disable NAT and basic firewall. Also, you can
open up the inbound and Outbound filters to check the configuration as well.
Hope that gets you going in the right direction. Going along with what
Susan stated, I would make sure this environment is shielded from the net for
testing and disable the firewall on both machines and test again. If it
doesn't work then, personally I would a laptop or another XP machine on the
same segment, manually set the ip addresses and make sure that works and go
from there.
Good luck.
