I am having a problem pinging my computers. They are hooked up on a router, and share an internet connection through the router. I can ping both computers from the one upstairs, but from my main one down here, I can only ping itself, I cannot ping the other one upstairs. I just disabled the WinXP firewall on both, and stil the same problem. Anyone have any suggestions on what could be happening???? Thnx, plz anything will help!!! Its really needed...

This is the main comptuer thats not working properly...and I am not using a VPN right now, I was trying to do that before to connect to my school, but it didnt work so i disconnected from the VPN, and unless theres a hidden form of VPN, i do not believe its behind one.

Hm, well the TCP/IP config looks correct, the only fishy thing is the VPN.

Some VPN clients will firewall a connection, allowing through only the encapsulated+encrypted data (ie: on one port). This may be happening, which would explain why you could ping out from 25, but not back in (stateful awareness).

I'd try removing the VPN client.

Edit: The pings are going the wrong way for that theory, but I'd still try ripping off the vpn client.

Check your network protocols and see if there is anything out of the ordinary running. besides .....

If that doesn't help you should try running msconfig and going to the startup tab and uncheck all the boxes .... just remember which ones you unchecked. Reboot and try again

    • Xbox is going a new route. This girl is just upset because she was ignored and has a different opinion. My opinion is the stretching out of Xbox to other platforms is awesome! Having a unified software model on different platforms is the future. Focusing on one device is so 1990's. The basic hardware is no longer the focus of the majority user base. It's the software, and the availability of optional hardware solutions. Heck, if one size fit all we'd all be using iPhones. This doesn't happen in the real world. And Xbox is going that route. Hats off to Microsoft in this move.
    • AMD 25.6.3 driver brings FSR 4 support for GTA V and Monster Hunter Wilds by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe AMD's driver team is busy this June. The company just released its third graphics driver of the month, and this one is focused on expanding support for FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4) upscaling tech. A handful of bug fixes are included in this release, too. AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 25.6.3 optional driver is finally bringing FSR 4 support for Monster Hunter: Wilds, the Capcom-developed action RPG that released earlier this year. The title is well known for its performance issues, so the FSR update should help RX 9000 series owners get more frames without losing too much graphics fidelity. Next, the driver also delivers FSR 4 for Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced. The expanded and enhanced version of the title featuring ray tracing and other features only hit the PC platform a few months ago, and now, latest-generation Radeon graphics users can use the upscaling tech to improve their frame rates. AMD has also fixed an issue with FSR 4 in this release that made the technology not enable properly on a bunch of games. They include DragonKin: The Banished, Blades of Fire, RoadCraft, The Alters, Star Wars Outlaws, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. A Black Myth: WuKong crash on the RX 7650 GRE GPU and a The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered texture corruption issue on the RX 9070 XT have also been resolved in this release. Here are the known issues that AMD is still working on: Stutter may be observed while playing games with some VR headsets at 80Hz or 90Hz refresh rate on some AMD Radeon™ Graphics Products, such as the Radeon™ RX 7000 series. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to change the refresh rate as a temporary workaround. Intermittent system or application crashes may be observed while playing Cyberpunk 2077 on some AMD Radeon™ Graphics Products, such as the Radeon™ RX 7000 series and Radeon™ RX 9000 series. Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Monster Hunter Wilds with Radeon™ Anti-Lag and Instant Replay enabled. Stutter may be observed while playing Call of Duty: Warzone Season 03 ‘Verdansk’ map on some AMD Graphics Products. Stutter and lower-than-expected performance may be observed while playing 4K resolution YouTube videos in Chrome. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to play videos in full screen as a temporary workaround. The new AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 25.6.3 optional update is now available for download from the AMD Software app as well as AMD's own changelog page for the driver.
    • So, basically, Windows 11 is the 'new Windows 7 'cause everyone's ignoring it? Guess my Windows 10 machine and I will just live happily ever after in our secure, familiar bubble... until four months from now. Then we'll figure it out. Probably.
    • Are you sure you are not mis-understanding a use case for Windows 11 where it fails? Your experience does not negate another user's dislike of something. I.E. don't be dismissive just because you haven't experienced something they have. That makes you look bad.
