Able to Ping Internet, Not Local

[jmikow]

A few weeks ago I noticed that I was able to get on the internet without any problems, but all of the sudden I am unable to ping anything locally on my network.

I've checked all kinds of things and nothing has fixed it.

Any Ideas?

I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2.

Thanks!

There are other machines on the LAN, and they work properly.

There's about 20-30 pcs on the LAN.

the 192.168.0.1 machine is a hardware device that doesn't have a ping utility.

I just found that I can ping some machines on the network and not others. this wasn't possible before.

I've tried all of these steps using my LAN and my WLAN network cards independently and there is no difference.

can you ping 192.168.0.1 from 192.168.0.94? or from 192.168.0.104?

 

[jmikow]

yes, i can.

I imagine that if I couldn't, I wouldn't be able to get on the internet and send this message.

Are they in the same workgroup?

Also do you have the same protocols in your Network connections? i.e. Client for Microsoft Networks or NetBEUI

 

[alidabiri]

erik is right,
check the workgroups, however, i don't think you need netbui. just the 4 protocols that is posted above.

My LAN connection has the following checked:

Client for Microsoft Networks
VMware Bridge Protocol
Deterministic Network Enhancer (I think for my Cisco VPN client)
File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

NetBEUI settings are set to Default.

Every system is inside the same domain.

Try disabling the Deterministic Network Enhancer just for kicks and see if that changes anything....

I turned of the DNE and it made no difference.
