    I'm having some quite confusing problems with the network.

    First of all, all of the computers can access the internet and mapped drives and so on, the server can ping any LAN computers IP, the computers can ping the server LAN.

    1. The server cannot ping web addresses such as Google,
    2. The computers cannot ping web addresses such as Google,
    3. The computers cannot ping each other

    How can I be connected to the web and all network drives but not communicate with any other computer or ping the web?

    The PING command is useful for testing basic networking functionality, so focus on getting this to work first. You may find the second issue resolves itself.

    If you're connecting two computers directly then ensure you're using an ethernet cross-over cable.

    If your computers are connected indirectly, via a router or hub, check both cables by switching them around.

    Check ICMP echo requests are not being blocked by your firewall(s). Disabling firewalls temporarily may help you determine if this is the case.
