To all that have replied so far

Ill check that the router will allow all outgoing.

Right now as stated below they cant even ping each other. Ips are
handed out by dhcp. no hard coded settings. netmask and gateway are
the same on both boxes and ips are on the same subnet.

Yes they are in the same workgroup however the problem isnt a
workgroup config error. The boxes cant ping each other by IP.

Tnx much

Rich
