Can't ping PC running XP on home LAN

[Guest James Egan]

My wife's IP address is 192.168.1.3. I can't ping it from my PC

who's IP is 192.168.1.4. But I can my PC from my wife's I turned off

the firewall on both PC's and even shut down the Windows firewall service

temporarily. What else could be preventing me from pinging (let alone

accessing) my Wife's PC? Both are connected to a small Linksys router.

 

-Thanks

Let's have a look at the output from the command

 

ipconfig /all
