Hi, Just setup a network with one server, win 2k3 standard and 3 desktops, WinXp. I am able to ping the server, 192.168.0.1 from the server and any pc on the lan. I cant ping any desktop on the lan from any machine inc server. I have a network printer which i can ping no problem as well as a print server from any pc and server. For some reason i cant ping the desktops and everything seems to be ok i can see? Any ideas what it could be? Thanks Richard

Is the built in Windows firewall on each client PC enabled and set to not reply to pings?
