Ping question

shayser · 2009-02-20 23:18:32

I've two windows machines in the same workgroup. If I ping one machine from the other by machine name I get the ip address resolved but the ping request times out. ie. ping machinename pinging machinename [192.168.etc] with 32 bytes... Request timed out. ... ... ... What could be causing that? Edit: ping ipaddress fails…
