Hi, I have two desktop PC's running Windows XP Pro with
both having static IP addresses.

They are both connected via a D-link Dsl-504t Adsl Router
With Built In 4 Port with its own static IP.

Each PC can access the internet but neither can see each
other. I am able to ping the router from each PC, but
cannot ping the either of the PC's via either PC.

They are both within the same workgroup but I still dont
think this answers the question as to why I cant them or
ping them.

Does anyone have any tips on what I can do to resolve this
please.

Many thanks, Tony..

This is a Windows Issue.

Well lets look at the name of the newsgroup. It starts with "microsoft"
so that must mean we only talk about Microsoft products. Next it says
"public" so that means any person can post here. Then it says
"broadbandnet" so since this is a Microsoft newsgroup it must be talking
about the Microsoft Broadband Networking. Last but not least it says
"hardware" So that must mean it is the Microsoft hardware for networking
that we talk about.

Thus this is not a general networking newsgroup, but one for the
Microsoft Broadband networking hardware. I'd suggest either posting in
a newsgroup for the hardware you are running, a general networking
newsgroup, or one for whatever version of Windows you are running.
