Re: Basics, please!
the ping problem sounds like a firewall setting either in the router or most likely a software firewall on each machine. if you are running XP, it has a built in firewall which could be killing the pings. the only other thing i can think of is that you may be using NAT and public ips mixed or with ipmaps. in the case of ipmaps, you MUST ping by the local ip, not the public ip since the cayman does not do loopback. if you are running concurrent routing and bridging, NAT on some machines and public ips on other, they will NOT see each other. i sort of doubt this last option, since it is extremely tricky to get this to work with BSFA.
as to reaching them via PCA, it is pretty simple. since each machine currently has a public ip, all you should have to do is load pca on them and set the host to lauch with windows or setup a shortcut to launch it, whichever way you want to do it. of course, you must allow PCA in any firewall you run.
if you go to a single static ip, the setup is only slightly different. you would configure the first machine's host to be on the default ports of 5631 and 5632. then, the second machine 5633 and 5634, and so on and so forth. you then create pinholes in the cayman to point the proper ports to the proper machine. then from your remote, you setup a connection for each machine pointing to the same ip, but different ports.

| The firewall is not installed in the Cayman but we do have Sygate Personal Firewall Pro on each machine. According to the documentation, "Allow ping reply" is enabled by default. The only thing I can find that might relate to it is a setting in Advanced Application Rules for allowing ICMP traffic.
Like I said, I'm missing something very basic.
Thanks
