cannot ping server

Hey

I got 2 computers in my network (computer A has winXP pro (sp2), computer B
has windows 2003 server.)

I can ping from B to A, but I cannot ping from A to B:
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.

Computer B has firewall enabled... what should I do to enable pinging from A
to B?

Jeff

Hi,

Which firewall are you using? What are firewall settings?

If you are using Windows Firewall then go to Control Panel and double click
on Windows Firewall icon. Here click on Advanced tab and then click on
Settings button under ICMP options. Make sure that "Allow incoming echo
request" option is selected.
