As you can see, each NIC gets its own IP address from 192.168.43.15, yet it can't even ping that address. Frustrating! Same problem on TWO different laptops... both were reformatted recently with new OS/patches/neccessary apps. Dialup & VPN both work on the LAN, but then again, they are outside/external IP addresses pinging inbound. DNS is working fine, as you can see I can ping outside IPs and the internet works flawlessly.
