Default No Response to PING of XP Pro Computer

On our company network no one can ping my computer, by name or by ip address.

I can access other network resources and my computer works perfectly normally but other people can't access my computer.

I've turned off the ICF in network connections.
I am not running any firewall software.
As far as I know the machine should be open for other's to connect to, but they can't even get a response to a ping.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Brian

Brian,

Let's start by examining your computer, and one other computer.

Please provide ipconfig information for each computer.
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command
window - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in Notepad, copy and paste into your next post.

From each computer, verify connectivity:
1) Ping the other by name.
2) Ping the other by ip address.
3) Ping itself by name.
4) Ping itself by ip address.
5) Ping 127.0.0.1.
Report success / failure of each of 10 pings.

Cheers,
Chuck

Brian,

Well, to start, your computer has ip address 192.168.21.173/24. The other
computer has 192.168.55.223/24. Are you connecting your computer to the same
physical network as the other computer, or is this a routing issue? Both the
subnet that your computer is on, and the other computer, are apparently part of
your company private network.

Is there another computer on 192.168.21/24 that you can test with, as the
"other" computer?

This may be an issue which you have to take up with the IT group at your
company, as it depends upon how your company private network is setup.

Cheers,
Chuck

I've repeated the test with a computer on the same subnet. Sorry, I should have used a local computer the first time.

<SNIP detail diagnostic data>

Brian,

Well, this is a challenge.

You have now showed me two computers on the same subnet. Both are apparently
connecting to the subnet - and names resolving properly (from popeye, bkearney
is resolving to its ip address correctly).

There is no connectivity problem - bkearney pings outward - pings popeye fine.
Yet popeye can't ping bkearney. Though popeye can ping itself fine. So no
apparent problem with popeye.

The only explanation for this is a firewall on bkearney. "I am not running any
firewall software." Did you EVER install firewall software on bkearney?

I am kind of curious about the Bluetooth Ethernet adapter on bkearney. Maybe
the static route table will give us a clue.

Please provide static route tables for bkearney and popeye.
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "route print >c:\route.txt" into the command window -
Open c:\route.txt in Notepad, copy and paste into your next post.

Other observances, which may be relevant, maybe your IT folks can explain.

You have 2 DHCP/DNS/WINS servers on your subnet: 192.168.21.2 and 192.168.21.7,
with reversed roles (probably load balancing design). How many different
computers have you tested with this problem pinging bkearney? Did they all get
DHCP from 192.168.21.2 (as popeye did)? Can you run the same test on one that
got DHCP from 192.168.21.7 (as bkearney did)?

Your computer bkearney is WinXP. Is koncan WinXP also? I see that popeye is
Win2K. Do you have other WinXP on your subnet?

Cheers,
Chuck

Thanks for your help. We seem to have identified the problem. The primary cause is that my computer has our new VPN software on it (which has builtin firewall support) but the interoffice VPN and most users have not switched over yet.

Given the changes we made yesterday it works completely or partially. When I'm inside the office I need to stop the VPN service and then everything works. When I'm outside the office then only people on my subnet can see my machine because of a routing problem between the interoffice VPN and the new VPN. This will go away once everyone has moved to the new VPN (our security policy on the new VPN restricts who my computer will respond to, and it seems to only respond to those who are also running the same VPN? I dunno, some times I can't understand what tech. services is saying).

Thanks again.
Brian
