cannot ping www.google.com

Hi,

I can ping my own machine but cannot ping Google although I canacces the site through browser. My colleague having windows XP can ping from the same subnet
I am using Vista home premium. Can anyone please suggest what I need to enable to get the ping going for outside network?

Thanks in advance

Do you use the same firewall as your colleges?

Do you have an extra firewall on the local machine?
