I just don't know how this happened or why it's occurring.. but when I unplug my ethernet cable to test the wireless link and then ping the router using http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r15744637-Hardware-Error-when-I-ping-my-router command prompt, I just get this: Seconds after plugging the ethernet back in and repeating the same exact command, everything works fine! I get a reply and all. The strange thing about all this is here... All of these are for the wireless connection. Windows is telling me everything is fine, essentially! But why on earh does my wireless connection not work? I just don't get it.I've changed the channel on which the router broadcasts the wireless signal to "2". Do wireless NICs automatically switch to the correct channel when they find a connection? This shouldn't even matter though, because as you can see, I HAVE a standing connection.EDIT:Rewrote the entire post. · actions · 2006-Mar-23 1:18 pm · cacrollEventually, Prozac becomes normalPremium Memberjoin:2002-07-25Martinez, CA cacroll Premium Member 2006-Mar-23 10:15 pm said by illJazz:when I unplug my ethernet cable to test the wireless link and then ping the router using command prompt, I just get this:(SNIP ping with Hardware Error displayed).Seconds after plugging the ethernet back in and repeating the same exact command, everything works fine!

The Server PC has two Siemens network cards CP1613 for redundancy to communicate with PLC. The configuration is working as expected in the plant bus side. I have one client PC (WinXP SP2) for the server. In the terminal bus (PC network) side Im using the onboard Ethernet port to connect to the client PC and Server PC. Both Server & Client are Dell Optiplex 755 desktop PC. When Im pinging the client PC IP address from Server PC it is showing "Hardware Error". From the client PC I can able to ping the Server PC IP. Some times it is reverse also. I have u
same kind of IP adresses 10.2.XXX.XXX. They have all the same subnet mask, the same gateway. They are all connected to the same switch. They can all ping themselves. They have all the same property ''Link speed and duplex''=auto-detect. All the machines can ping machines with IP adresses 10.1.XXX.XXX except 1 computer. And this is my problem. When this computer (@IP=10.2.XXX.XXX) try to ping machines with 10.1.XXX.XXX IP adresses, the following output appears: hardware error hardware error hardware error hardware error The computer who can not ping has the following operating system: microsoft windows xp professional x64 edition version 2003 sp1 This is a new machine which I installed last week. Can you tell me why this computer cannot ping 10.1.XXX.XXX adresses? Is there a problem with filters in the firewall of windows? Thanks for your help. , Aug 28, 2007 #1 Advertisements Chuck [MVP] Guest On Tue, 28 Aug 2007 12:56:13 -0700, wrote: >Hello, >I have several machines with same kind of IP adresses 10.2.XXX.XXX. >They have all the same subnet mask, the same gateway.
