Hi.. My friend can brought two PCs with Windows XP and link up each other with a cross cable. But he found that they can't ping each other. I have found the following things are correct.
1) both IP in same subnet 2) cross cable has no problem 3) both NICs has been set to same speed and duplex or even both auto, but still not working 4) both NICs has light when the cable is connecting to it 5) when I used a fluke meter to test to connectivity by connecting directly to one of the windows XP PC, I found the windows XP PC can ping the fluke but the fluke can't ping the windows XP PC. What I can think of is that the windows XP may has some security setting (kind of firewall) to prevent other to ping it, but it has no problem ping other, but my friend told me he has disable the firewall service. What can you think of?
