Rather embarrasing i should say - i installed vista 64 bit drivers and all is well!

---------------------------------------------------------

So i'm having the weirdest problem ever and i can't seem to figure out what's wrong. pull hair.gif

My problem is that i cannot ping or reach across network from my Vista -> Win2003 or vice versa. I end up with a destination host unreachable.

I have my PC which is dual boot winXP and Vista64 Ultimate. I have another PC which is Windows server2003 R2. Other PC's on the network include my lappy, friend's PC and others. I can ping to and

from those PC's from any other PC in the house! The only 2 that are not able to talk to each other is the Vista/2003 boxes. Otherwise there are no problems whatsoever on the network, both the vista

and 2003 PC's can reach the internet and the whole network.

The 2 PC's in question are on a basic netgear 5 port switch, which in turn is hooked up to a verizon router.

Here's a summary of my setup:
Router - 192.168.1.1
Vista64 - 192.168.1.4 (dhcp) P-dev.home
Win2003 - 192.168.1.11 (static) Atlas.home

CODE
Vista64----NetgearSwitch-----Server2003
                   |
                   |
              Verizon router


After turning off the firewalls i get:
Pinging from Vista -> 2003: Destination host unreachable
Pinging from 2003 -> Vista: Request time out

I also uninstalled/disabled IPv6 on both systems.

Keep in mind that when the XP install which is on the same exact hardware as Vista works just fine. I've also confirmed that hosts on the switch can ping all PC's in question, as well as hosts that

are above the switch (connected directly to verizon router) can do the same.

I've also logged into the router's user interface and can see all hosts as connected, with correct IP etc. Everything looks normal there.

I was able to mess with the routing table and get varioius other results, but honestly i'm not that familiar with the routing table. Everythign seems to be setup correctly! I can't seem to figure

this one out.

what happens if the 2003 box is set to 192.168.1.11 rather than 192.138.1.11? or is 192.138.1.11 a typo?

Typos corrected . You can also see the correct IP's assigned in the output of ipconfig.

firewalls, both have client for ms networks, both have file and printer sharing, both in the same workgroup, both have shares? looks to me like something in vista is blocking access.

windows firewalls off on both systems, ms network, firle and printer sharing, workgroup etc is setup, but the problem exists before those apply - i don't even have a network connection, before i can talk about shares etc.

I'm going to attempt a 64 bit OEM driver.
