I have two machines on my local network: A and B. I can't seem to ping B from A, but can connect to the web server running on machine B through the browser on A. I can also SSH and VNC from A into B. Note that I can also ping A from B!
Machine A is running Windows 2000 and both machines A and B are connected to Actiontec 1524 gateway. Both machines can access the internet.
I've spent a couple of hours trying to fix this problem by flushing DNS, renewing IP address and such. No luck!
This may be important. Machine B used to be connected to machine A directly, but some time ago I connected both A and B to the gateway, so they are not connected by a physical cable directly anymore. I wonder if A is trying to use the old "Local Area Connection" to look up B instead of going through "Local Area Connection 3", which goes through the gateway. Maybe Windows caches these kinds of routes.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
