Networking Problem I've got a weird (at least to me, I'm hoping that it will be obvious to someone else) problem with my network. I'm running an 802.11(g) router. I've got my server and my desktop ethernetted to it, and I'm using my laptop in wireless mode. All machines are seeing the router fine (and getting Internet access), but the laptop is not able to see the other two machines and vice versa on the network. The laptop can ping everyone, but the laptop cannot be pinged. I'm running in encrypted mode on the wireless connection, and wondering if that might be the problem. It doesn't seem like it should be, because I would think that the signal is being decrypted by the router and available through ethernet. Does anyone have any ideas? [Update] D'oh! I'd changed my network from 192.168.1.* to 192.168.2.* and forgot to tell Zone Alarm on the laptop. Problem solved. Posted by Rand Simberg at September 14, 2004 08:07 AMTrackBack URL for this entry:

Upgraded to WinXP SP2? Check the firewall. Try turning it off and see if the problem goes away. My personal preference on firewalls is Zone Alarm (www.zonelabs.com). Posted by Dave G at September 14, 2004 08:33 AMAre any of the PCs in question running XP SP2, with M$'s built-in firewall? Are you running DHCP? Unfortunately, all the information I've been able to find on the subject is about the laptop being unable to ping the router, not the other way around. I would imagine that the encryption has something to do with it (you're using WEP?), though I'm not sure exactly why the router wouldn't send information to the laptop. Can the laptop surf web pages? If so, then the router can send it information. What brand/model router are you using? Posted by John Breen III at September 14, 2004 08:36 AMThe laptop is Win2K with Zone Alarm, the desktop is Win2K with Zone Alarm Pro, and the server is RH Linux 9 running Samba. The desktop can ping the server (and see file shares on it), but not the laptop. The laptop can ping both desktop and server. Posted by Rand Simberg at September 14, 2004 08:38 AMYes, I'm using WEP, 128 bit. The laptop is getting internet packets from the router (an Airlink+). The router is running DHCP. The assigned addresses are 192.168.2.2,3 and 4 for the laptop, desktop and server, respectively. Posted by Rand Simberg at September 14, 2004 08:42 AMAre the IPs of each of the computers in the trusted zones of each of the other computer's ZA configs? Is MAC Address filtering turned on on the router? I'm not sure what else to suggest, still poking around... Posted by John Breen III at September 14, 2004 08:56 AMFrom some of what I've read, you need to put each of the parts of your network in the "Trusted Zones" in each of the ZA configs. This includes the router/DHCP server, each PC, Server, etc. If you leave the networked computers in the "internet zone", they won't be able to share resources with one another. I can't take full credit (or responsibility) for these answers, it's just stuff I found from poking around the web, mostly on ZA's forums and a few "how to" sites... Posted by John Breen III at September 14, 2004 09:03 AMYou know, I had typed in at one point "dot two dot two?", but deleted it, figuring that you had already thought of that... Either way, glad to see that you got it all squared away! I also learned a bit about ZA from this exercise. Guess this means I have to go back to actually working for my employer now...
