Does it resolve to the proper IP address? (127.0.0.1) Have you enabled the IP protocol for the adapter? Did you manually install a network driver? Are you running a virus scanner / firewall solution? It will execute "ping localhost" but it does not ping (loopback) by machine name. Posting the output of the ping would help.

(127.0.0.1) here, I see that pinging my machine name resolves to the IPv6 internet address (in the mixed notation) when I have no internet connection, it resolves to ::1 (localhost) Have you enabled the IP protocol for the adapter?

"Localhost" is "myself" - are you confusisng "Computer description name" for
the computer's workgroup name? "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote in message ...

cannot ping myself under vista
All,
With Firewall on, I cannot ping my local machine by name. I can ping via IPv4 (127.0.0.1) or my machine's IPv4 address obtained via DHCP (192.168.x.x). I can also ping using 'ping localhost', which resolves to ::1:. Internet access works fine. Three questions: 1) What specific firewall settings can I change without turning it off completely? 2) Also, who does Windows return different IPv6 addresses depending on whether the Firewall is turned on or not? 3) Finally, why does windows return an IPv6 address when IPv6 is not bound to any network adapter on my Computer (btw, the did try binding IPv6 to all adapters and received the same behavior, ping success with FW off, ping fail with FW on.) Thanks in advance for any help! ping with Firewall turned on: C:\Users\dhomping burgerbox Pinging burgerbox [fe80::206f:21e4:3f57:f79b%13] from fe80::206f:21e4:3f57:f79b% 13 with 32 bytes of data: Request timed out.
