Ping - not working on laptop
I have a home network connecting through a Linksys 4-Port Router. I
connect my Desktop and my Laptop on the network to share Internet and files and printers. I have WinXP (no SP3) on the desktop and Vista (no SP1) on the laptop. I have my harddrive partitioned into 3 and share the "E" drive with the laptop. This has worked fine for a long time, but lately, I cannot access the desktop "E" drive from the laptop. To check to see if the two machines were seeing each other, I "ping" the laptop from the desktop and get timeouts. I "ping" the desktop from the laptop - and the ping doesn't do anything - just sits there with the ping command and takes no action after hitting enter. I'm not sure whatelse to provide you all to get some assistance on this problem, but if anyone has any advice, I would appreciate it. If you need more information, let me know and I will pass it on.
