Hi all!
New owner of a Mac Mini. Know nothing about it, so NewBie Alert!
Windows PC with two NIC's. One connected to the internet, one connected to the Mac by using a crossover cable. Internet Connection Sharing on the Windows PC and the Mac can go out to the internet so there is connectivity between the Mac and the Windows PC.
The problem: I cannot ping the Windows PC from the Mac. I can ping the Mac from the Windows PC, so my suspicion is that it has something to do with a firewall on the Mac, but as far as i know the firewall on the Mac is switched off. On the Windows PC the firewall is definitely switched off.
Who can help me getting this working?
Thanks,
Ton.

On a Mac computer you can send a ping using the Terminal or through the Network Utility application. Using the Terminal to Send a Ping The terminal is a command line interface that can be used for all kinds of things, including for sending a ping. The machine I’m running the command from ( 192.168.1.77) doesn’t show in the list, but everything else does—including the MAC address, which is the series of numbers and letters separated. The easiest way to practice with the ping, MAC and arp command is with your own computer. You probably have at least one device connected to your computer that you can view. You first need your computer’s IP address. You can do this by opening a command line and typing “ipconfig /all” in the command line utility. Type 'arp -a' in the command prompt. This lists a number of MAC addresses with the associated IP addresses. Since you have the MAC address, scroll down the list to find the associated IP address. The MAC address is shown in the 'Physical Address' column with the IP address in the 'Internet Address' column. An example of a table record is in Step 4.

You can use the ping command to verify the connectivity between two network devices that are IP (Internet Protocol) based.

To ping another network device using a computer running Windows, complete the following:
Cmd Ping Machine Name
- To bring up the run dialog, press the Windows key + R.
- Type cmd and press Enter.
- Type ping <IP address> and press Enter. The IP address is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where xxx is a number between 0 and 255. For example, to ping 192.168.1.1, you would type ping 192.168.1.1.
If the ping is successful, you should receive replies from the address that you are trying to ping. If the ping is unsuccessful, you need to diagnose your network setup further.
To verify if your local network adapter is working, you can ping 127.0.0.1, which is a loopback address. The loopback address is a virtual network port for most operating systems.
