Should sharing be activated for this?

It now looks like you have both computers correctly set up - the
likely reason for being unable to ping the PC from the Iyonix is
probably down to a software firewall on the PC (Windows XP firewall or
one you have installed) not allowing response to ICMP pings.

There should be a way of setting up the firewall to allow pings on the
LAN - if it is the Windows firewall you are using, go in to the
firewall settings, click on the Advanced tab and make sure Local Area
Connection is ticked, then click on the Settings button to the right.
Click on the ICMP tab, and tick the box for "Allow incoming echo
request". OK all the way back out and try pinging the PC from the
Iyonix -if you have no other firewall active then you should get
replies.

If you are using a software firewall on the PC let us know which one
it is - someone will probably know how to set it up...
