John,

WS3 pings 4.2.2.2 allright. I'm quite sure that WS1 never had firewall
software installed - it's a refurbished Compaq that I only bought a couple
of months ago. What I didn't mention before is that it came with a NIC
onboard, which I disabled since I couldn't find drivers for it and
installed another NIC.

I will change the IP of WS1 - just wait  No joy, either. Same
reactions as before - changed it to 192.168.0.27.

Is there a way of just reinstalling TCP/IP?

Thanks,

- Thees Peereboom
