first attempt is pinging the server i'm working on. as expected it works fine.
second attempt is pinging my computer. nothing goes through.
third attempt is pinging my phone, which also doesn't go through.
fourth attempt is pinging the router, which suspiciously works.
i don't know what to do. i've tried pinging other computers and it just doesn't feel like cooperating, i don't even see anything appearing in my network places area.
it could be the fact that my mom has some bullstuff MAC address timer crap that's so loving annoying, and she refuses to remove it no matter what i tell her or ask her
it's kind of stuffty when i can't even ping my own computers or transfer files to them, especially when i'm working with a server and need remote desktop connections to manage stuff
any help would be appreciated, i know some of you run servers and networks, windows or not
