Interesting problem - ping loop ok but not ping IP address

Posted: 10-27-2003, 07:33 AM
I have an XP machine (ORANGE) connected to a WIN 98
machine (BLUE). On orange I can see and access files on
blue ok. On orange, my network ip address local is
192.168.0.1 as set up by the wizard. On orange, I can
ping 127.0.0.1 ok. But I can't ping 192.168.0.1, and I
can't ping the computer name "orange" - it times out. I
can't ping orange from blue, and I can't connect to
orange from blue.

But I have been using this setup for weeks without
realising this problem because I only needed to sit at
orange and get files from blue - no difficulty at all.

I have re-installed my NIC (REALTEK RTL8139 on-board an
ASUS motherboard) in device manager but no change. ALso
have repeated the network wizard several times, no change.

Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong?
