Thanks for the reply Dave.
Alas, I have tried dropping both firewalls: no diff.
The PCs each contain wireless LAN cards talking to a Linksys wireless router. It seems that every other aspect of their communication works except that the 2000 box can't see the XP box.
The stranger thing is that the router recognizes, and assigns an IP address to the XP box. It simply cannot ping the XP box. The router, which is configurable via an "ASP" page, has a utility for ping and tracerouting. Since I tried pinging the XP box DIRECTLY from the router, I eliminated routing as the issue.
I suspect that there is some obscure, SP2 configuration somewhere deep in the bowels of XP that needs to be switched on or off that I just don't know about yet. <sigh>
Cheers,
G
