Next question, and I cant believe I haven’t asked this yet… can you ping 127.0.0.1 ? Its… properties of you LAN connection -> Select TCP/IP from the list and choose properties -> Advanced button -> Options tab -> select TCP/IP filtering and choose properties. Next check that you’re not filtering out any IP packets. Stranger things have been known to happen… You may not have specifically set it but just have a look anyway.
Make sure you dont have the XP firewall enabled. The next few suggestions you may have already checked but have a look. Thanks for the info re: not being able to ping without the router in the way… If you don’t have WINS or DNS server, configure each client with an LMHOSTS or HOSTS file that includes all the other machines on your internal network (preferably LMHOSTS). If you don’t have a DNS server, don’t worry.ĥ. If you have an internal DNS server, configure the clients to access it, and have the DNS server do “forwarding” to the ISP’s DNS server. If you have an internal WINS server, make sure all computers are accessing it as their primary WINS (can be called NBNS) server. Reconfigure your router to NOT filter ICMP outbound (you DEFINITELY want inbound filtered).ģ. Reconfigure your router with an appropriate “internal” network that includes all of your local machines.Ģ. If you do have a domain controller, then your computer is probably trying to follow the “default gateway” out to the internet where you obviously have no domain.ġ.
I have heard that XP for companies requires a Domain to log in to, and if you cannot see a domain then you can’t access shared resources because you can’t authenticate yourself. The router/NAT is probably configured to filter out ICMP packets (like PING).Īs far as connecting, it sounds like you have configured yourself for a Domain, and not for a workgroup (I haven’t worked with XP, so….).
