Cannot Ping my own PC

[Neil_G]

I have a problem with 2 PC which are networked.  I try to ping my PC which has a fixed ip of 192.168.1.135 and I get an error message.  The screen below shows the results when I had NO firewall installed on my pc (running Win 8.1).  The other PC (running Win 7) also has a fixed IP 192.168.1.149 and I cannot ping it from my PC or from itself in command prompt.

 

My PCs are networked and I have no problem using my file manager to see each PC from the other PC.

 

I would appreciate any help or suggestions

On your wi-fi connection what happens when you ping your Router default gateway with the following script?

~DP

@Echo Off


:### DEFAULT GATEWAY IP:

For /F "Tokens=2,3 Delims={,}" %%A In ('"wMIC NICConfig Where IPEnabled="True" Get DefaultIPGateway /Value |Find "I" "') Do Set RouterIP=%%~A 

echo. Router Default Gateway IP: %RouterIP%

timeout /t 3 /nobreak>nul

echo.

ping %RouterIP%

echo.

pause

I've seen wireless routers come in these two flavors:

1. Has internal firewall to keep WLAN and LAN networks separate.

2. Assigns different Subnet Mask to WLAN and LAN, which effectively separates them.
