Direct Connect

PC #1:
Vista
TCP/IPv4 Settings:
Use IP address: (192.168.1.101)
Use Default Subnet Mask: (255.255.255.0)
Gateway: (192.168.1.100)
No DNS server

PC #2:
XP
TCP/IP Settings:
Use IP address: (192.168.1.100)
Use Default Subnet Mask: (255.255.255.0)
Default Gateway: (___.___.___.___)
No DNS server

I can get PC #1 and PC #2 to successfully ping to 192.168.1.100, but neither can ping to 192.168.1.101. I am using an Ethernet Crossover cable. What could be my problem? And how can I tell when they are communicating successfully?

Well, now, on the Vista PC, it is connected with Local connectivity.
TCP/IPv4 has Local connectivity, but i still cannot ping.
fast replies much appreciated

Do you have PC1's firewall set up at all to ignore/drop ICMP messages at all? If so then it will not have the ping bounce back.
