Ping through Domain (Windows)

Kyujin Choi · ‎12-15-2010

If one of PC is not joining to domain (rest of PCs are connected through domain; Active Directory), is Ping not workiing?

One PC is windows 7 Home with workgroup can't ping another PC in the domain although PC (windows 7 Home) got IP through DHCP server.

This is my question.

Does Windows Domain (Active Directory) feature have a sort of VLAN feature, so other PC can't communicate at all?

Thanks for your time and knowledge.

Hi,

you should look at network type in network and sharing because it influences windows firewall configuration and it could be reason for ping not working.

Yes, check the firewall settings. Make sure its in the same network - (Check ip, mask, etc)
