Might you have an address conflict? If you take new XP machine off net, any chance you can ping that address still?

Was the address previously used elsewhere? If you can look on router/bridge console at ARP entries, does MAC address for that IP match XP machine's NIC?


No addreses conflict, tried it with various IPs, I don't know that the router stores ARP entries in a viewable format, they're not implicitly set by us anyway. Hopefully rebooting them should get rid of that issue???
