On the old one.....one NIC connects to my dsl for online connectivity...and t he otherone has a xcable connected to my new pc........the problem is....i can ping my new computer from the old one.....but not vice versa.......i cant do it from new to old.....only from old to new........does anyone have any suggestions? what i can do....what ut hink i should check? anything? Iv assigned the connected nics ip addresses already......such as 192.168.1.1(old) and 192.168.1.2(new) so i can try to network them for file sharing....but i cant talk to the old one from the new one.......plz anyone?

Does the new computer have a software firewall? If so, try turning it off and trying to ping again. Depending on the firewall, it may block the outgoing request without informing you it is doing it.
