cannot ping another PC in my network, two TCP-IP apps cannot connect
Hi,
I have two vista laptops next to each other at my home office. They have ip address 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.3 (router IP is 10.0.0.1) They connect to internet using a router using wireless. I have a client server APP which I want to run on these laptops. Client and server connect with each other using TCP-IP using port no 12348. I need to run SERVER on one laptop and client on another. Antivirus run on both the laptops (McAfee and QuickHeal respectively). Windows firewall is active on both laptops. I have already added port number to the list of exceptions on server PC.
PROBLEM
Client app on one vista cannot connect to server app on another vista.
I cannot ping one laptop from another. Tested in both direction.
The client server APP works perfectly well in other setups.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

I have changed settings on one laptop (having McAfee) to accept incoming pings. I can now run server on this laptop and the client on the other. My app can make connection in one direction (client on laptop-2 and server on laptop-1). It cannot yet make connection in another direction, but I can move forward with this for now.
appreciate your help.
