Not all PCs can be pinged

[adalli]

Hi,

I have a setup through an Access Point with three computers all connected wirelessly. I am using Windows to configure my wireless network settings. When I set the security I cannot ping one of the PCs, the other see each other fine.

As a security I am using WPA-PSK and TKIP. The computer that I am not managing to ping is connecting to the network, at least that the message I am seeing.

Can anyone please help?

Thanks in advance

If you are using Windows XP; go into Control Panel, Network and Internet Settings, Windows Firewall, and click the Advanced tab.

Once there, click on ICMP Settings, and make sure Allow Incoming Echo Request is checked. If it is not, you will not be able to ping that PC.

Hope this helps...

Thanks, but it is checked. Would appreciate if you have any other suggestions.

Thanks again.

Can you show the IP addresses for the three PCs and the access point? What default gateway address is being used? Is the access point a wireless router (such as a Linksys or a D-link)? If so, what is its IP address?

Maybe this is just a network configuration issue...
