Hi,

before sp2 installation I could ping the own machine ip (static one) and had access to the workgroup. After the sp2 installation pinging the own machine ip results in delivery failure. Pinging localhost, router, other ip's of the workgroup works. I have also access to the internet. Furthermore I cannot access to the workgroup anymore via mynetwork.

Does anyone have a tip? Thanks.
 
This is probably because of the Windows Firewall that is now turned on. Open the Security Center in the Control Panel to edit it (ping = ICMP)
 
SOLVED!
I have had installed a Norton Personal Firewall 2004.
This should have been configured (allowing or denying network traffic to/from a specified source of network address or address range etc.).

Thankls for the tip again.
