Unable to ping ip address
Windows 2000 domain
xp clients
why is it that some of the computers on the network i'm not able to ping and others I can.
However all have network access, internet, able to access network drives ect..
We only have 1 subnet
for I added a new computer to the domain... gave it a 192.168.0.18 ip address
Now from my personal computer with a ip address 192.168.0.36 when I ping 192.168.0.18 I get no replies
but
from the new computer with the ip address of 192.168.0.18 when I ping 192.168.0.36 I do get replies?
makes no sense to me that one way I get replies and the other way I dont both cmoputers have full network acces, can hit router, servers, ect... but I get these weird analomies where I can't hit certain ips on the same subnet
any ideas

No firewall hardware
Just the built in windows xp firewall is turned on... If you consider that a firewall then yes we use a firewall.
Although explain to me how you can close up ports through xp firewall?
I figured it out , thanks anyway

Well, that's what a firewall does : it blocks ports ...

Like you said some firewall setting?
Ok, sorry ... I misunderstood you - I thought you found a different problem :)
You could get the same problem if the subnet masks combined with the IP addresses were incompatible. But I suppose they were all 255.255.255.0, yes?

yup all the same
it was the windows firewall setting.
I needed to allow exemptions and everything worked then
Thanks for the help
