I can't get the PCs to ping one another

Alright, so I'm using Packet Tracer and I've hit a brick wall. I just don't know what's going on here. 

The PC's can each ping their own Default Gateways. 

The Switch can ping each PC's IP address.

The Router can also ping each PC's IP address.

However, the problem is that the PC's can't connect to one another. They can't ping one another. I know this is going to end up being something trivial that's holding me back, but I need the help. I'll appreciate it!

If there's anything else I should have posted like outputs, then please just ask. 

Thanks guys.

Scott

point your PC's to use the router as the default gateway, instead of the SVI IP addresses on the switch, that should solve the issue.

What I'm assuming here that the switch you have used do support limited L3 support, just like 2960 but doesn't support "ip routing" and therefore, can't do routing and because the DG on PC is the SVI therefore, its not going anywhere. Make router the DG and check the result or add static route on the switch and check

Changing the DG eventually got it to work. Thanks for the help!

I've set the router as the default gateway and now the PCs can't ping the DG or one another.  

EDIT: It just started working all of a sudden. Thanks for the help!

Thank you!! This helped me 7 years later!!
