Unable to ping Guest from Remote PC

[Pandya]

Hi Friends,

I have Windows server 2003 installed on my computer,i have choose this because i used WAMP server on it and it is inclusive of web server, database and the site development work.And i have also setup guest OS which is Windows 2k to check the development.but i sees that I cannot ping the guest from any remote pc on the network but able to ping the guest from the host.
To run that I have stopped the Windows Firewall service on the host, and there is no firewall on the guest.

If anybody has any clue please let me know

You need to have DNS on if you desire to connect to the internet and to ping other pc's using hostnames. Try pinging the clients by their IP address. If this does not work, you may have other issues to worry about as well. Active Directory should not be working at all, this is because active directory will not work without DNS.

Thank you for your explanation. I have installed the DNS but still unable to ping. Only activating the IPX/SPX/Netbios, I will be able to view Server from workstations but still unable to ping.

I am really confused.
