    Hi All. I have this computer at work connected to the local area network and i am having trouble perfoming operations such as running network based programs connectting to SQL databases and SBS Client set up etc. From this computer i can access the internet and shared drives remote desktop etc. I can ping other computers from this pc how ever i cannot ping this PC from the other computers. I am guessing that some information packets whatever are being blocked for some reason or other. I Hope that all makes sence Articulating weird computer problems can be tricky at times. Any help here would be cool.

    Cheers Folks :)

    Does the pc have a software firewall or antivirus running on it. You may need to add the private ip range to the trusted zone so they can communicate properly.

    Hey !
    The Windows firewall on the local pc's or workstaion will block pinging. This will make the machine invisible in the domain. Win 7 Pro and down.

    Greetings, mikengineer2, and welcome to MajorGeeks.

    Good point about the firewall.
