If I have 2 machines both on the same switch with static 192.168.10.0/24 addresses I should be able to ping one from another, right? I mean I dont need a gateway..
...Had a really confusing job this morning where everthing is broken.
yeah, should be able to ping it ;)
EDIT/p.s.
http://www.frogsoft.com/pingnet.htm is a really handy little program... pings an entire range of IP addresses, returns host names etc..
:)
assuming your subnet masks are correct the two ports are probably in different vlans. impossible to say with no more info though !
It was just on a cheapy netgear switch - no vlans involved.

V2.21. Good we tool. Scans a range on your network and gives you the host names for any ips it detects.
