Can no longer ping my laptop

I can't ping my laptop IP address or machine name any longer. No matter where I try to ping it from, it just times out. I can ping everywhere on the network from this laptop, and have access to everything as before, so I know I'm connected to the network. Is it possible that ping was turned off inadvertently? If so, how to turn it back on?

Thanks

Hi maharlika,

In your laptop , go to command prompt and do this

Also do ping the IP address of your laptop and post the results

Yes, that was it! I don't understand why it was turned on now, as I have had SP2 on for several weeks with no problem. Anyway, that resolved the problem.

Thanks!
