Re: Can't Ping My Own IP Address

I have a few more data points that might be clues as to what is going
on here...

In the process of running the netdiag program outlined above, I was
faced with trying to post the results of the utility (since they were
rather verbose). In order to move this data from the "bad" machine to
my "good" machine I could not use a floppy since the "bad" machine does
not have a floppy drive.

What I wound up doing was creating a shared folder on the "good"
machine and mapping it on the "bad" machine and that worked. I am able
to map network drives that exist on the "good" machine onto the "bad"
one. The reverse does not work though. I cannot create a shared
folder on the "bad" machine and map it on the "good" one. When I try
to map a folder this way, the "good" machine sees the "bad" machine's
name as part of my local network but it cannot see anything inside the
machine.

The second point I wanted to make is that I noticed that there is a
difference between the two machines if I open the "Network Connections"
dialog box from the Start/Settings menu. On my "good" machine and on
my office machine, there is only one bold heading in this box labeled
"LAN or High Speed Internet". On my "bad" machine, there is an
additional heading labeled "Internet Gateway". This heading has one
entry under it which reads "Internet Connection" with type "Internet
Gateway", status "Connected", and name "Internet Connection".

Trying to bring up the properties window on this connection results in
a dialog box that does not have any useful information in it. Right
clicking on it and asking for it's status brings up a dialog box that
indicates that the connection is good and working fine and there is
constant send and receive traffic on the interface (not a large amount
but the counters do constantly increment). There is a "disable" button
on this form but pressing it does not appear to do anything - The
status display stays the same even though it takes about 30 seconds for
it to come back from the button press.
