My Unix machine can ping my XP no problem,
But when I try to ping my Unix box from XP... Nothing.
Any Idea where to start looking?
It's a Simple network setup
Unix 199.199.199.5
XP 199.199.199.6
The XP, under connection status has no default gateway, and is connected
The xp also has an other network card, so i disabled that connection incase it was causing the problem.
Any direction would be great. Thank you

Some obvious things to check:

Subnet mask set correctly on the XP machine? (eg. 255.255.255.0)
Some kind of firewall running on the Unix machine? (might be deliberately set to block pings)
