| | Re: sharing public folder can't ping each other by IP. Can i clarify where i did correctly. I go to command prompt, type ipconfig and my IP address is under IPv4 Address. Is that right? After determining my IP address, i go to my colleague's laptop and type "ping 192.168.1.66", no response at all. Any thoughts? "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote: Quote: > Do a simple test.

| | Re: sharing public folder By design, you should be able to ping if you have enabled file and printer sharing. On the sharing computer type this command: net share and post the result back. -- Bob Lin, MS-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "Tiffany" <Tiffany@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:05CCC4D6-6EBD-49CE-855D-1BF039371988@xxxxxx Quote: > can't ping each other by IP. > > Can i clarify where i did correctly.
