Question:
I have one computer with IP address 148.135.25.67 and I
can Ping any other computer on intrnet and intranet and people can ping
my computer from internet and intranet but people cannot ping the
computer from the same office or from the same subnet why?
Replies:
It depends on a lot of different things. How your firewall may be
configured, how routers along the way are configured on your network, and
if VLANs are in use. I can set up a VLAN at work such that only certain
people can see certain addresses. This can also be done with access lists
on a router. A little bit more information would be needed for a more
detailed answer.
