Title: Lost packets due to not being able to ping ???

Hello all

This is an attempt to sort out a Ping error that I get when I try to ping my
host machine from the other 2 Machines on my Network M1 being the host.

My problem is that I can not ping to M1 from M2 or M3 ??? but I can Ping M1
from M1 of course -- I can Ping M2 to M3 or vis versa works .. Ping M1 to M2
or M3 works as well


My set up is M1,M2,M3 M= Machine .. each has XP Home edition installed with
Service Pack 2
I cleaned the registry of any left over folder & file locking software that
I previously had & re-booted
I have re made my network wizard for each machine giving the workgroup
a different name each time I try to reslove this ( same name for M1,M2+M3 of
course ) I have no Norton software installed on M1 at all.

I have NET BIOS Enabled to Default ( Advanced TCP/IP etc WINS folder )
as I have static IP Address's for M1,M2 & M3 ... as thay are on my network
and I also login to them remtly from outside my network so they must have
static internal ip addresses

but I still can not ping to M1 from M2 or M3 ??? but I can still Ping M1
from M1 of course

I have used the use the netsh command to reset the TCP/IP protocol stack i,e
for winsock & interface command.resetlog.tx but this hs not worked I am at a
stand still ?? can anybody shed any light on this

node is set to broadcast on all 3 machines .. ipconfig/all
I have made sure the guest accounts have blanks passwords

Windows firewall is disabled, the firewall active is the 2wire HG 1800 ( my
router )

any help on this would be very helpfull .. if anything needs more
explanation please do not hesitate to ask as I am all ears :-)))
I have been pointed in the direction of ethereal and I have installed Version 0.99.0 Running with WinPcap version 3.1 (packet.dll version 3, 1, 0, 27), based on libpcap version 0.9[.x] on Windows XP S, build 2600. on ALL 3 machines … I need to be able to work out why I am losing packets from at M1 entry point from either M2 + M3 … I have a NVIDA nForce Networking Controller Pack .. M1 & M2 have the same adapter, M3  has a Dell Wireless 1350 WLAN Mini PCI Card, all 3 Machines also have a 1394 Net Adapter .. For the test I dropped the speed of all network adapters 10 MBits/s half duplex

But I do not know how to read the info & from what machine to what .. I pinged M2 to M1 and saw some bad check sums ?? I really need some help with this so I can attempt to solve this

Please find some details below of my machine
