Hi everyone,

I have a c2960-s switch.  I connected two pCs assigned with static IP: 192.168.1.1,  192.168.1.2, respectively. they all are in the default Vlan; but they can not ping each other.  I 'write erase' the switch but yet the same.    some times if I connect other pc, it will ping another, for example :  192.168.1.3 may ping 192.168.1.4, but 192.168.1.4 will not ping 192.168.1.3.

Any help will be well appreciated

You asked exactly the same question in a new post in the Switching forum. I do not understand why you also appended your question to a very old discussion, especially since that discussion was about a very different issue with 2 PC connected to one switch.
