cjbeckwith Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
