hi,

are both PC using same IP address/subnet?

make sure ping/icmp is enabled on both PC and try to temporarily disable windows firewall or third party FW.

Same VLAN?

Computers don't have firewalls?

yes all ports on VLAN 1 and no fire walls on the computers and also tried different ports because the switch is old and used but it didn't work

Can you share the ipconfig /all of both PCs and the config of the switch?

Is it possible to directly connect both switches to each other using a cross over cable? Such a test could exclude switch as a cause of the problem.
