Tcp ip addresses

[Parvardigar]

I am setting up a computer here in Los Angeles to ship to France for their office.
The French offices uses TCP IP Range 192.168.1.XXX - 255.255.255.0 - Gateway 192.168.1.20

Connected to the hub is the France computer: 192.168.1.31 - 255.255.255.0
Connected to the hub is a test laptop: 192.168.1.35 - 255.255.255.0

From the laptop I can ping the laptop: 192.168.1.35
From the laptop I can ping the Fr Pc: 192.168.1.31

From the Laptop I can do net view : and the France computer is listed: NAV2B

From the France computer, NAV2B, I can ping its address. However I cannot ping the laptop: 192.168.1.35
From the France computer in New View I see list its computer: NAV2B. The Laptop is not listed.

Before I send the computer to France I need to prove that the IP address is working. If I cannot ping the laptop I think this could be an issue.

This computer is with a fresh install - and this is the first instance fiddling with Adapter Properties.

I do know I should be able to ping both ways. France to Laptop ; Laptop to France. However only the laptop is pinging both address successfully.

Any suggestions please let me know,
Thanks!

Just because your pings dropped doesn't mean that the device is offline. It is possible for you to block ICMP (Ping) messages but allow other services. For example, have you tried to ping microsoft.com? It fails... that doesn't mean it is offline but just that it doesn't respond to pings.



From an IP address perspective your configurations are fine. I would consider seeing if there are any firewalls configured on the laptop that could prevent pings from being allowed. As a test try and disable them and test. If it works then this is your problem if not then report back and we can look further into it.
