 * Hi – I have installed my very first wordpress site on my own location ([http://scratchpad101.com](http://scratchpad101.com)).
   In wordpres.com when another blogger links back to my blog post, I get a notification
   and a comment is added back- that is not happening on this installation.
 * do i need to install a plugin for this wo work?

 * No – you don’t. Are pingbacks/trackbacks enabled in Settings->Discussion?

 * I think yes – This option is checked (Allow link notifications from other blogs(
   pingbacks and trackbacks.)

 * How old is the site? How do you know that you are missing trackbacks?

 * site is 24 hours old.
 * I know it is not working, because I posted a trackback on [http://scrtchpad.wordpress.com](http://scrtchpad.wordpress.com)
   and it did not show up on my site. You can check the post: [http://scrtchpad.wordpress.com/2011/08/22/concurrency-patterns-producer-and-consumer/](http://scrtchpad.wordpress.com/2011/08/22/concurrency-patterns-producer-and-consumer/)
   which links back.

 * ok i just noticed that my comments feed is returning a 404 ([http://scratchpad101.com/comments/feed/](http://scratchpad101.com/comments/feed/)).
   Is there something special that I need to do to fix this?

 * Give a bit longer before you assume something is broken. Also check that you 
   have enabled pinging in your wordpress.com blog.
 * > i just noticed that my comments feed is returning a 404
 * Do you have any comments yet?

 * Thanks for the update. The pinging is enabled in wordpress.com blog.
 * I noticed that the wordpress.com blog is sending pings to my comments feed and
   it received a 404. Hence i assumed that it is getting to my site but something
   was wrong.
 * I added a comment and checked that the feed works fine.
 * I will check in a day or so and get back on this forum.
 * Thanks once again.

 * This is still not working 🙁
 * And I checked that pingbacks are enabled on all the wordpress sites I have in
   discussion.
