First thing that comes to my mind is that somebody enabled the internal Windows Firewall, added ZoneAlarm, Outpost Ignitum or something that keeps the computer from being pingable. &nbsp;Some network admins do not allow ping.. &nbsp;What about TRACERT or connecting to a UNC Path on the XP box - e.g. \\XP-WorkSTATION\c$<br />

hi guys<br />
<br />
tomorrow morning I havce to go into an office. They told me their XP pc is not pingable from the other servers, meaning it can also not be seen by other servers on the network (crudial). HOwever, from the XP machine you are able to ping other machines. <br />
<br />
No firewall changes have been made at all. <br />
<br />
Any ideas?<br />
<br />
Thanks
