<td>A few months ago, I posted this issue over here and have not yet fixed it:<br><a href=”https://web.archive.org/web/20160202041206/http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/Destination-host-unreachable/m-p/326241″ target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow”>http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/W…</a><p>I’m getting unexpected “destination host unreachable” whenever I try to ping my laptop from the PC that I am posting this from even though the laptop can ping the PC.</p><p>Here is what my network looks like:</p><p>Router Model: WRTU54G-TM (Wireless-G Router with 2 Phone Ports)<br>Router IP: 192.168.10.20<br>Router Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0<br>DHCP Server Starting IP: 198.168.10.21<br>DHCP Server Max Number: 4<br>DCHP Table:<br>192.168.10.21 Laptop* (XP SP2)<br>192.168.10.22 Network Printer* (HP Photosmart C4780)<br>192.168.10.24 PC** (Vista Home Premium 64bit SP2)<br>* Wireless<br>** IP assigned statically</p><p><br>When I try to ping the laptop or network printer from the PC I get the error message “Destination host unreachable.” The laptop and PC can both ping the router and access the internet.

Read your posting from the link above.
Windows firewall disables ping from other PCs by default.
I guess it is a firewall issue.
If you have installed an additional firewall and turned it off for testing, make sure, that the windows firewall is also turned off.
Some third party firewalls do this during installation, but even not all.
So crosscheck, whether the windows internal firewall is also turned off and try again.
If the antivirus, you’re using has also some rudimentary firewall functionality, you have to also disable this for testing.
Post back the result.
Since this is all on the lan side there are no routing tables per your last post on the homcommunity site.
You write you can’t ping the laptop or printer from the pc.
Can you ping the pc and printer from the laptop?
If you go to entire network do you see these other units listed by host name?
Try to disable Firewall and check for the issue.
Perform a tracert to the destination IP address and check where the problem occuring.
Make sure that local host is configured correctly.
