I have a laptop and a computer running off a D-link wireless router. Both are connected wirelessly to the router (and can use the internet). The Laptop has an IP of 10.0.0.10 and the computer has an IP of 10.0.0.12. I cannot ping each other for some reason? but I can ping the router (10.0.0.1) what am i doing wrong? they are both XP?
Thanks

have you networked the two together?...if not you need to set up a home or small business office network which you can find in My Network places....do this on both and it should work. If you have a firewall...make sure that it is disabled whilst you do it then add the ip addresses to allow them to talk to each other

On the machine you can't ping, right-click on the active network connection and select "properties", then "advanced", and go into the firewall settings. Then go into ICMP settings, and check "allow incoming echo request". Apply this change, and the machine should now respond to ping.
Background: ICMP, or Internet Control Message Protocol, is the way out-of-band messages are sent on the Internet. ICMP Echo Request (the type of packet generated by ping) is often blocked by firewalls as a rudimentary security technique.

now no longer undesirable, yet what the hell are you thinking getting an AM3 motherboard and a center 2 Quad? Getting a center 2 Quad is undesirable sufficient those days (it quite is two generations previous), yet you're pairing it with an thoroughly incompatible motherboard. Wait some days for Intel's Sandy Bridge chips to debut, then located up a build with that. additionally, 750w is huge overkill. this technique ought to prefer to run on a 500w Corsair with a impressive style of headroom. And in case you should, snag a 1GB GTX 460. they seem slightly quicker than the 768MB fashions.

Is the XP firewall turned on? If so, you can either disable the firewall or configure the firewall exceptions on both systems to allow ping.
