This is a possibility, but the fact that machineA can see machineB but not
visa-versa would count against it.

(plus the fact that OP has all these machines hooked up to the 'net,
presumably, via his Linksys router, which would imply that they all have
TCP/IP installed).

Cheers

: Can you give a bit more info about the various setups?  eg.  OS on laptop

: On many win9x machines, TCP/IP is not installed by default and they use
: NetBEUI.  The reverse is the case in Win2k/XP setups.
:
: Since ping is based on TCP/IP, this may explain the problem with not being
: able to ping the machine.
:
: Try using NBTSTAT.EXE to test rather than ping.  This can sometimes work
: better between various network setups.
