I have an odd situation with my laptop...
I am trying to test some software that has 2 components. Part1 is on another machine on the network and connect to Part2 which runs on my machine.
Trouble is, my machine is not visible on the network! I can Ping other machines on the network but if they try to ping me, they get a timeout.
This used to work fine, it is not a new laptop & I don't think I have changed anything (classic user statement!)
Running Windows XP. Not running the Windows firewall (or in fact any firewall! Relying on the office one). I will have a look at the Windows firewall settings though.
enguerran: Yes, you are right, something must have changed but I am not aware of having changed anything.
I am on the same domain. I am not runnig a firewall. I did change my password today!
The other machines are able to obtain my IP address from my hostname and it matches what my machine thinks its address is. But the ping message itself times out.
Here is the output of TaskList:

Anything in there that leaps out? Or any other commands that I can try? Unfortunately our IT department is heavily overworked and does not return his calls!
