Step 6: Verify IP connectivity between the two PCs
NOTE: To test TCP/IP connectivity between the PCs, Windows Firewall must be disabled temporarily on bothPCs. Windows Firewall should be re-enabled after the tests have been completed.
a. On PC1, on the Windows XP desktop, click Start. From the Start menu, select Control Panel, and double-click Network Connections.
b. Right-click the Local Area Connection icon and select Properties. Click the Advanced tab. Locate and click the Settings button.

c. Make a note of whether the firewall settings are ENABLED (ON) for the Ethernet port or DISABLED (OFF) for the Ethernet port. ____________________________________________________
d. If the firewall settings are enabled, click the Off (not recommended) radio button to disable the firewall. The setting will be re-enabled in a later step. Click OK in this dialog box and the following to apply this setting.
e. Now that the two PCs are physically connected and configured correctly with IP addresses, we need to make sure they communicate with each other. The ping command is a simple way to accomplish this task. The ping command is included with the Windows XP operating system.
f. On PC1, go to Start, then Run. Type cmd, and then click OK. A Windows command prompt window will appear as shown in the figure below.
g. At the > prompt, type ping 192.168.1.2 and press Enter. A successful ping will verify the IP connectivity. It should produce results similar to those shown in here.
h. Repeat Steps 6a-6c on the second PC. The second PC will ping 192.168.1.1.
i. Close the Windows command prompt window on both PCs.
