Laptop can’t ping outside of subnet

I have two VLANs. One laptop on VLAN 2, and the other on VLAN 3. I’m able to ping both laptops from router and NETGEAR switch. But, VLAN 2 laptop can ping VLAN 3 laptop. VLAN 3 laptop can’t ping VLAN 2 laptop. I don’t have any firewall rules. I disabled windows firewall on both laptops.

VLAN 3 laptop can only ping other laptop on VLAN 3. I’m not sure why.

Re: Laptop can’t ping outside of subnet

As suspected, it's a laptop issue.  I tried another laptop, and I'm able to ping both laptop to each other from different VLANs.

Re: Laptop can’t ping outside of subnet

There is no "magic" routing between subnets - that's the reason I often say one should not talk of "inter-VLAN-routing". The static IPv4 routing must be configured accordingly. Some routing capability must be avilable on your network, either on a dedicated router, on on an L2+/L3 switch.

The fact that I can ping the laptops from the router and the switch mean routing works correct?

Show us more if your network, of your router configuration (with multiple subnets), and of your switch config.

Re: Laptop can’t ping outside of subnet

I’m afraid I can’t do that till Monday. But If I swap the laptops, that’s same laptop is doing the same thing. So it might be a laptop firewall issue. But, I have firewall disabled on the laptop.
