2 Server Machines can't seem to communicate - HELP!

[qdog007]

Issue resolved!! Here is what I did. I got my laptop and set its IP to 192.168.2.x and hook it up to the switch. I ping my Dell and got a Time-Out. I then ping my IBM and got a reply. Conclusion: my IBM is OK...so now I can focus entirely on my Dell. On my Dell, I figure the NIC was acting up. I went to Device Manager, uninstalled my NIC, reboot the system, and it works!! It was the NIC or the driver that is the problem...although it didn't give any indication. But suffice to say, I am one happy camper right now. Thanks to all for trying to help me.
