Can't ping? Or can't get replies to your pings? There's a big difference there.

If you can't ping....(like you get an error of invalid command or something) something wrong with the OS like paths or something if command.com won't run ping for you.

If you can't get replies to your pings, sounds like a software firewall issue or a netbios issue...are you pinging by IP address or by netbios name?
 
i got ports to work
i spent like 7 hours so far with the port isue
i can open factory remote to router port,
but for manul open ports they say open but are closed in port scans
any idea's now its port isue
:confused:
 
Could you give us more information? You can't ping because you have no IP address? Or because of an IPTABLES rule, or what? It's hard to troubleshoot without much info on your infrastructure.

It helps me to troubleshoot using the OSI model.. but that all depends on what you're having an issue with.

Good luck!
 
Backwoods,

What does your infrastructure look like? Are you connected to a router, switch, wireless, wired, modem? How many PCs do you have? Can you ping your loopback address, 127.0.0.1?
