Can't ping each other.

I have two computers in a nine PC, Windows XP Pro, peer to peer network. They all have fixed IP addresses and belong to the same Workgroup. All computers are able to ping each other and access files except for two. These two can access everyone else exept each other. They can't even ping each other.

Is there a limit to how many pc's will be able to access a peer to peer network?

Thanks
 
There should be no limit, I would check the cabling/hub configuration you could run into problems if you have hubs spanning off switches etc - if that all looks good double check your static ip and subnet addresses carefully.

Hope this helps
