I have a multi computer network in the house. They are
all on the same Router, yet all but one respond to PING.
Internet Connection Sharing and Internet Connection
Firewall are NOT active.
It appears there is settings wrong.
Is there a setting somewhere I need to check?
 
Start by seeing if the machine can ping it's own IP
address and the loop back address of 127.0.0.1. If it
cannot then something is wrong with the NIC card or its
drivers. Remove and replace them. Also make sure TCP/IP
protocol is running as well as Netbios over TCP/IP.
Assuming all of this is Ok try another network cable and
different router port. If you are 100% sure the cable and
router port are good then search the Microsoft Knowledge
base for troubleshooting TCP/IP. No ping no network.
Firewalls love to swallow the ICMP echo request from Ping.
