sanity1977 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 This is still semi related to a previous post but I've simplified things a little with the same problem. I have an XP Pro and an MCE machine on the same workgroup. Both firewalls are turned off but they still cannot ping one another or see each other via My Network Places. They are both connected to the same Netcomm NB9W Wireless Gateway and can ping it as normal. The both also can access the internet and ping it without any problems. I have shared folders on both machines and there are no other antivirus or firewalls in place. Thinking about it, I did have Avast Home Edition on the MCE for a little while but it was removed.Any ideas? Could it be the Netcomm NB9W causing the problem some how or is it a common wireless thing. I have even tried having no security over the wireless.

cluberti Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Perhaps you've enabled (or it was enabled out of the box) a feature that keeps devices on the WAP from being able to communicate with each other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
