Ping IP's in vista

[GHBenji]

I am trying to ping IP addresses of computers on my internal network with a Vista Ultimate Machine. When I do I get the following:

Reply from 192.168.1.1: TTL expired in transit (192.168.1.1 is actually the computer I'm pinging from and not the computer I'm pinging)

This should not be happening cuz I know the IP is out there. And I have my laptop hooked up to the network and I can ping the same IP with no problem. (with XP Pro)

I have Windows Firewall disabled or enable and still the same thing. I am running Avast Antivirus softeware, I'm not sure if that could have an affect. Although I have tried to stop the On-Access Protection and it still does the same thing.

Anybody out there know why this is happening??

Do you have a Router (DSL or other) on the network? is it set for the same IP as the Vista BOX, perhaps?

try changing the IP adress and retry, e.g instead of using 192.168.1.1 use 192.168.1.100 (Subnet 255.255.255.0)...
