I am using WinXP Pro. I get "time outs" when i ping the other IP addresses on my network using command promt. These other PCs are also WinXP Pro. One particular pc has a shared internet connection but I still cannot connect to it. I can see it on the network and also print to it but I cannot connect to the internet through it.
Pls help!

no ping = no connectivity. if you can't ping em nothing is getting out of your computer to the LAN. Double check all your network hardware and software settings. Double check that your NIC card drivers are installed.

How come! But I still can print to that PC even though I receive ping "ping time outs" when i try to ping it. I guess that is why i cannot access internet using the internet sharing on that one pc as well....

You said that you had disabled your firewall but it is very possible that their machines are still set up to block ICMP ping requests...Just a thought.
