network connection issue
I have a test network that consists of:
3 computers connetec through D-Link Switch, they are all static IP
Computer 1 TCP/IP
IP 192.168.0.4
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Preferred DNS 192.168.0.4
Computer 2 TCP/IP
IP 192.168.0.3
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Preferred DNS : 192.168.0.4
Computer 3 TCP/IP
IP 192.168.0.2
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Preferred DNS 192.168.0.4
Note that 192.168.0.1 is an IP of DSL router so that 3 computers connect to internet, in fact they all connect to internet.
From computer 1 I can ping 192.168.0.1 , 192.168.0.2, but NOT 192.168.0.3
From computer 2 I can ping them all 192.168.0.1 , 192.168.0.2, ,192.168.0.4
From computer 3 I can ping 192.168.0.1 , 192.168.0.4, but NOT 192.168.0.3
I would like to have all the computers able to ping each other.
Any idea?
thanks

Is .4 a domain controller?
yeah like everyone says computer 2; 192.168.0.3 probably has a firewall enabled. WinXP has a builtin firewall that is enabled by default. If that this the case
Go to START > Control Panel > Network Connections > your active NIC > Properties > Advance > Windows Firewall > Settings >* Advance, choose "Allow Incoming ECHO Request". Click OK, OK, OK, etc until you are back at the desktop
*Note in the General Tab radio button for Firewall is ON by default.
Hope it helps,

I found the solution for the issue, it was simple but weird.
the computer that has 192.168.0.3 had the time clock different than other computers. I just adjusted it and now all computers can ping each other.
How I did pay attention to the clock?? because I woke up too early and saw in my wall clock the time was 3:xx am and on the computer 1:xx am .
