this sounds like the almost the same situation i was in months ago.  i was
linux and a 3Com vortex NIC then and i'm having problems pinging some hosts
(which are of course up and running as pinged from some other hosts).

turned out to be some switch config problem and PIX.  have you rechecked
your switch?

just a wild guess.
