First things, check all the configuration
possibilities. 

ifconfig -a

Check the ip address, netmask. Are you on the same
network as the other machines.

netstat -rn

Check to make sure there's a default route and that
it's correct. 

I usually find that when I'm having problems like
this, it's something silly that I missed or changed
and forgot about. Of course, if you're familiar with
this stuff in Linux, then you may have already done
all this.
