I am experimenting with windows firewall management via netsh firewall
context. I have windows xp sp2 running in a virtual machine (vmware). This is
a freshly installed machine. The other computer is windows vista sp1 (it's
hosting a virtual machine, using bridged network)
Task - enabling ping through command line on windows XP machine. I write this:
netsh firewall set icmpsetting type = 8 ENABLE
After this line i am able to ping the XP machine using IP address, but not
it's name.
The weird thing is - if i write
netsh firewall set opmode DISABLE
then ping vista->xp ping goes. When i reenable firewall:
netsh firewall set opmode ENABLE - ping also goes. When i restart XP
computer i return to no-ping-through-name state. Both computers are in a
workgroup : WORKGROUP.
Any comments why this could be happening?
