Hi all,

From an XP box on my LAN, I am able to ping other device on my
LAN. When I attempt to ping the XP box from other devices on my
LAN, it just times out.

At first, I thought it was the Windows firewall but it is
disabled.

Anything else that I might be missing in this Windows
configuration?

Thanks!

Almost always this is a firewall issue.

Check for other firewalls on your computer including "hidden"
ones like the Cisco VPN client whose firewall is enabled even
when the VPN client isn't.

HTH,
John


THAT WAS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was shutting the Cisco VPN client down but the service was still
running. Once I shut the service down, it worked fine.

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! I can't tell you how long that has been
bothering me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



What you need to do is start up the Cisco VPN Client. Then go to:
Options - Stateful Firewall (Always On)
and uncheck the box in front of it.
You can then quit the client.
No need to stop services.

HTH,
John
