I am using windows xp and have been having difficulty setting static IP addresses for the network interface adapters I have installed.
Whenever I set the NIC IP addresses through the TCP/IP setting and attempt to ping those IP address via the command prompt, the result is always "destination host unreachable".
Now, this computer is completely isolated and not meant to connect to any other network (internet, LAN, WAN, etc), so, I am puzzled as to why I've been unable to ping the NICs
I've tried a loopback test ping (127.0.0.1) and have used the "identify adapter" utility to verify that the Network adapters are at least able to be recognized, however, beyond that, I've got no other signs of life.
What am I doing incorrectly?
