PCs on my LAN can't ping one another

by oisin Mar 25, 2006 7:12AM PST

Hi,

I am trying to move Gigs of information from an old PC to a new one. Both are equipped with NIC cards, so I installed my Zyxel Prestige 623 ADSL modem/router on both and connected them both to the router. My problem is that while I can ping the router from each machine neither machine can ping the other. Any idea what could be wrong? Note that the Zyxel ADSL modem/router is no longer connected to an ADSL line, could this be the problem ?

as i can see you have 2 pc's connected to a router.

assigning IP from DHCP on router.

Try disabling your firewalls (inc. MS firewall if applicable)

Hope it helps,
