then open a cmd box and examine the contents of your arp cache ("arp -a")
If you have an entry in there for the router's MAC address then that's good. Either way, post again.
Don't bother calling DELL; it's unlikely to help this side of midnight. |
As above - XP firewall is off - agree default firewall rules should not block outbound ICMP from PC - clutching at straws here
Yep. I think when she looked at the arp cache she had the IP and MAC address of the router 192.168.1.1 - weird.
I'll ask her to check though
Maybe the mini Web server on the router is b*ggered?
