2 XP Pro computers on home network connected to internet through OvisLink Ethernet Hub. Both machines connect to internet.No 1 machine pings the No 2 but No 2 can not ping No 1.Turned off both firewalls and "NetBIOS Over TCP/IP is checked on both machines.HELP PLEASE!John1 person got this answerI do too

What firewall does No. 1 have? Sometimes, turning off the firewall isn't enough, and you have to un-install the firewall to see if it causes the problem.Best Wishes, Steve Winograd Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (Desktop Experience)
