Did you ping your IP address...? You ping host name "Windows7-U"?? I told you to access the IP address didn't I?

Hi zzz2496,
Also my reasoning is that when I do a ping from my win7-U pc to another PC in my subnetwork, there is a setting in the packet sent from my win7-U pc that causes my wireless router to send always and only out to the net.
I have just done packet capture from my win-XP machine pinging my daughters machine (ping 192.168.2.9) and it sends packet to both internal and external to my network. That is to www and my subnetwork. It eventually replies from internal network, but obviously does not actually send a reply from www.
I think I'm closer to the solution. Now I will do a packet capture from my win7-U and see what is in the packet that is different from the other machines packet when I do a ping.
Will keep you posted for the result as as I get it working again on my win7-U.

Hi all,
I actually did my test and found Nada, nothing, zip.
It actually gives exactly same result from all machines when I ping my PC from all other PC.
ping 192.168.2.5
Hi all,
I am thinking of doing a fresh install of win seven, then restoring my applications after, is there a good website where it explains how to back up in win 7 then restore the backup again?
Regards and thanks for all your help.
Wow Jacee,
There is so much that I can learn on this website. Thanks.
Wait, can you post a screenshot of the ping result? One screenshot from the problematic W7 to WXP, and another one from WXP to W7 (replace WXP with whatever the target host you have there).

Ps. unless you know what to read, DO NOT use wireshark, it contains too much information, even for a fairly seasoned network administrator can be overwhelmed by it.
before you go through all that, its a dns issue. Just add that computers (win7-U) to your HOST file and put the ip address that is assigned to it.

Hi zzz2496/ccatlett1984
I will do for both of you ASAP when I get home from work. Thank you.
I will not do an upgrade until it is 100% certain I cannot do it any other way.
Thanks again for all your attention people, it is really appreciated.
