I am currently stationed in Iraq with the US Army. We have an internet cafe in our building with ten desktops all running Windows XP, and two laptop stations. I was curious one day and ran ipconfig on all the computers. When I got on my laptop I tried to ping one of the desktops and my request timed out. So I ran arp -a and there were no entries found. I tried frp open and I got unknown error number.I also tried tracert and all I got was *** request timed out for all 30 hops. I got on one of the desktops and I pinged my laptop just fine but I couldnt ping another desktop. I get the same results when I ping any one of the desktops. Am I new and retarded or just new???? Any help would be great. Thanks
