Hi all,

i've been experiencing the following problem and i'd appreciate if
someone could bail me out of this. i have 2 computers running windows
xp pro sp 2. they're both on the same workgroup and on a dhcp network,
whereby they are assigned the addresses 10.196.130.63 and
10.196.130.75 respectively. problem is that one machine
(10.196.130.75) which is a desktop pc can browse and even ping the
other, which is a laptop. however, the laptop cannot access the other
machine or even ping it. in addition, both machines can access the
internet and they're both connected to the same cisco switch (3548).
i've tried everything, including going through the network setup
wizard on both machines repeatedly, sharing folders, using
administrator's account on both computers but none of these have
worked. i've also tried to restart the catalyst switch the computers
are connected to but to no avail. kindly if there's anyone who has an
idea of solving this problem please inform because its stressing me
alot inspite of it looking so simple.

fred.

Check also the anti-virus system since Internet worm modules may
behave just like a firewall.
