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.
 
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?
 
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..
 
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 http://www.homenethelp.com for further reference on crossover cables and how to make them yourself.
 
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.
