Can anybody pl help me with this?
I tried connecting it myself, but now when I send ping thru the laptop to my PC, I get a reply; but sending ping from PC to laptop doesnt get any response.
Pl help.
Disable the firewall on the laptop for this particular network adapter
I did that. Infact, only after I disabled the firewall, I could get the reply for ping sent from laptop to PC
dark_knight, i presume you are using a crossover cable, right.
huh…wait…Think we are mixing up the two…Anyway, disable the firewal completely on both machines to test…
BTW do both machines have static private IPs or one of them is getting a DHCP assigned IP from the other?
That should be immaterial as many new NICs can fip their state depending on the network config + he has got picg working one way anyway
what are the ip address you assigning & the subnet mask. assign static ip’s & see.
What are static ip’s? I have assigned one of them 10.65.2.245 and other 10.65.2.256 and subnet mask is 255.0.0.1 . I manually assigned both ip’s.
static ip’s are ip’s you assign manually, why dont you try
edited : 192.168.1.101 and 192.168.1.102 and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, dont forget to reboot 
well, assign this acc to me
first pc 192.168.0.1
second pc 192.168.0.2
subnet at 255.255.255.0
no need to assign dns, but if prompted, assing the ip of the other pc as the dns, like in 192.168.0.1, assign dns as 192.168.0.2 and vice versa
that subnet mask is completely wrong. You have set the last bit.
Can use 192.168.100.101 and 192.168.100.102 with mask of 255.255.255.0
ah dipdude edited his subnet… had mixed class C with class B
and rave that IP range is generally used by the AIRTEL connection I guess. So its better not to have that IF…
i have no idea if that ip is used by airtel or not, if it is, then i think he can use
192.168.100.xxx with the same subnet as Ren pointed out above..
Thanks. Hmm.. now I get Destination unreachable for ping sent from PC to laptop. Do I need to set anything for Default gateway?
Sorry.. entered wrong ip at ping.
Same prob.. request timed out
the problem seems 2 B with the OSes, i really feel it is a 98-XP situation, in that case you are doomed…moreover make sure you use a crossover cable..
visit
for further reference on crossover cables and how to make them yourself.
Both machines have XP+SP2, and yes I have a crossover cable
are you using norton antivirus 2004, norton internet security etc on that machine not getting pinged, some firewall is blocking the ping req.
I use AVG, and I dont think it has any firewall. Ok.. i noticed this thing, when I tried ipconfig/all command, the laptop has the follwing setting for windows IP configuration:
IP routing enabled…Yes
WINS proxy enabled…Yes
whereas my PC has both these values set to ‘NO’. Could this cause the problem? Can I change these settings?
backup the reg entry first,
To disable wins proxy, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netbt\Parameters,
Value Name: EnableProxy
change the value to 0. reboot, see if that helps.
p.s- just to be sure, disable all a/v, firewalls too.
Dipdude.. thanks for all ur help.. the WINS proxy setting has been fixed.
Is there any way to change the IP routing setting?
