Title: RE: [SA-list] Win XP - SP2 will not respond to SA
XP-SP2 has the Windows Firewall enabled by default.  The default setting is to not respond to ping requests.  You will have to go into the firewall settings and check "Allow ICMP Echo Requests" in order to be able to ping the XP-SP2 machine and get a response.

I have installed and am running Ethereal on both the XP-SP2 and SA
machines.  Both machines are on the same subnet.

When I ping SA from XP I see the ping request and reply on both
machines. 

When I ping XP from SA I see only the ping requests on the SA machine
and nothing on the XP machine.

Since pinging SA from XP works, I have to believe that all of the
network and physical layer stuff is OK.  It almost seems as though the
NIC on the XP machine is filtering out the inbound ping even before the
packet capture driver can log it.  I uninstalled the NIC and let XP
rediscover it then downloaded the latest driver and updated it.  No
change.

Bob.

Bob,

One option is to run Ethereal to determine if your WinXP machine NIC
receives AND reply to the ping request.
This might give you some clue on what is the cause.

Bob-

First I would say check all the TCP/IP stuff on the target XP box and
the source box.  If nothing can reach it then either a) nothing is
leaving the source box, b)nothing is finding (routing or subnet issue)
the target box or c)things are finding their way to the target box, but
are being blocked somewhere a la a firewall.  Are IP, subnet, gateway,
DNS correct on both machine?  Can both machines ping (in this order)
loop back IP, NIC IP, gateway IP, external IP?

A while back in the thread you asked about enabling Netbios.  Look on
the WINS tab in TCP/IP of the relevant network connection.

XP SP2 firewall has some decent logging built into it.  Perhaps turning
the FW on, enable logging, and then try to hit (figuratively) the
machine for a while, and then take a look at what it is in the log.

Good luck.

David

This is not a SA issue, but it was SA that alerted me to the problem.

I have a WinXP-SP2 machine that I am trying to monitor with SA and I
cannot get it to respond to anything.  I have tried ping, net view, RDC,
http, telnet, disk space, .....  I have tried to connect from machines
on the same subnet and from machines on the other side of the network.
I have moved to another office to make sure the problem was not with the
network jack/cable.  I have enabled the wireless adapter on this machine
and it acts just like the wired connection.

Before you ask, yes all of the respective services are turned ON and
working.
Before you ask, yes the WinXP-SP2 firewall is turned OFF and there is no
other firewall software installed, that I know of.

>From the WinXP machine itself everything seems to work OK.  I can ping,
net view, telnet and RDC out to any other machines on my network.
Internet access is OK.  I have the Win2003 server admin pack installed
and I can easily attach to any number of Win2003 servers and manage
their services via the appropriate snapins to MMC.  I am using this
machine and MS Outlook 2003 to compose and send this email.

This one has me pulling out what little hair I have left.  Any one have
any ideas as to why this machine will not respond to any probes from the
network ???????



Bob.
