Can that machine ping itself. That would prove the switch eh? Allen -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe Yoder Sent: 24 July 2008 02:04 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [NF] What would cause a machine to stop responding to a ping?
I am the sysadmin. The rest of the machines on the network could ping each other. Just the one machine wouldn't reply even though it could ping other machines. I took a break and thought things through. I have pretty well convinced myself that the switch itself was causing the problem. I planned to substitute a 4 port switch after I came back from my break but by that time the problem had resolved itself or at least gone into hiding. I turned the Windows Firewall on the problem machine back on and everything still works. I think I should get another 16 port switch. Having a spare available should be enough to scare the problem into staying hidden! - Joe _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
