Ping problem?

[aefstathiou41]

In packet tracer my wireless laptop can ping other PC's in the network but PC's cannot ping the laptop.

This is the IP of laptop (192.168.200.100) and I am pinging from the PC.

C:\>ping 192.168.200.100

Hello,

I have done some research, and it appears to be a limitation in Packet Tracer that neither the Linksys wireless router nor anything behind it responds to a ping.

Your setup is perfectly fine. Keep in mind that Packet Tracer devices are not real devices, so there are a lot of things that would work in the real world and that don't work in Packet Tracer...

So what should I do now? How can I make it work?

Hello,

what is the requirement for your lab ?

The requirement is to make everything ping to be able to capture packets for further calculations
