pinging on internal network doesn't work
I'm trying to network two WinXP PCs so that I can copy files between them.
Both PCs are connected to a router. The router assigns a 192.168.*.* address to each one. Then, from PC 1 I try to ping 192.168.x.y (the internal address of PC 2) and it times out. The same thing happens if I try to ping PC 2 from PC 1.
Of course, maybe the WinXP firewall blocks incoming pings by default? I didn't think it did.
I set up an SFTP server on one of the servers and attempted to connect to it from the other server using the 192.168.x.y address. But, when I attempted to connect it says (with ip address changed):
i Session 00002 established for session /192.168.x.y
i SecureFX version 2.2.9.248 (Official Release - February 3, 2005)
i Discarding invalid state change from STATE_NOT_CONNECTED to STATE_CLOSED.
i Connected for 21 seconds, 0 bytes sent, 0 bytes received
i Discarding invalid state change from STATE_NOT_CONNECTED to STATE_CLOSED.
i Connected for 20 seconds, 0 bytes sent, 0 bytes received
i Discarding invalid state change from STATE_NOT_CONNECTED to STATE_CLOSED.
i Connected for 20 seconds, 0 bytes sent, 0 bytes received
i Discarding invalid state change from STATE_NOT_CONNECTED to STATE_CLOSED.
i Connected for 20 seconds, 0 bytes sent, 0 bytes received
Any suggestions?
