Can't ping PC running XP on home LAN

James Egan

My wife's IP address is 192.168.1.3. I can't ping it from my PC
who's IP is 192.168.1.4. But I can my PC from my wife's I turned off
the firewall on both PC's and even shut down the Windows firewall service
temporarily. What else could be preventing me from pinging (let alone
accessing) my Wife's PC? Both are connected to a small Linksys router.

-Thanks

Let's have a look at the output from the command

ipconfig /all
