IO have a Toshiba Satellite laptop and a desktop on a wirells network. I'm using a Linksys wireless router. The desktop is plugged onto the router using an Ethernet cable. The laptop is using a wireless card. The desktop can see, ping and connect to the laptop. However, the laptop can neither see, ping nor connect to the desktop.
When I try to ping a non-existent IP from the laptop, this is what I get:
> ping 192.168.1.9 PING 192.168.1.9 (192.168.1.9) 56(84) bytes of data. From 192.168.1.2 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable From 192.168.1.2 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
When I try to ping the desktop I get this:
> ping 192.168.1.10 PING 192.168.1.10 (192.168.1.10) 56(84) bytes of data.
--- 192.168.1.10 ping statistics --- 20 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 19014ms
So the behaviour is different, which tells me that the desktop is recognized somehow. I thought it might be because ping is rejected by the desktop but even trying to connect to the web server on the machine fails.
Does anyone know what could be occuring?
Thanks,
