Map drives between 2 XP SP2 machines...
I am having trouble getting a connection (ping, with eventual desire to map a
drive) between two machines on XP SP2 - before upgrading to XP SP2 I did not have this problem. Here's my set up... Two laptops with XP SP2, connected via a router. When logging into the "local machine" on both laptops, neither machine can PING the other. Same story when I login to both machines on the same domain... what gives. I know the IP addresses of both machines, subnet mask and such - but I can't reach one machine from the other... I need help - can someone throw me a bone?

Thanls for the quick reply!
On the "Windows Firewall" dialog's general tab, both the on and off radio buttons are greyed out - and there's a message at the bottom stating that the "Windows Firewall is using your domain settings"... (I'm logged in on the domain account - the firewall has this same setting when I login to the local machine) Regardless, under the exceptions tab, I have no program or service named like "ICMP Ping/echo packets" - how do I add this exception to the list (clicking add programs reveals no program like "*ICMP*")? Further, how will I know whick port(s) to open up without creating a security risk for myself? "Doug Knox MS-MVP" wrote: Is the Windows firewall enabled?

Oops, I see that in your message now...
Ok, on both PC's I've got the option "Allow incoming echo request" checked but nothing else. I don't see anything about "Ping". Is there some port that I need to enable (and how)?
