Do you have IPFW running? If so, you are probably denying those packets. Are all of your netmasks the same? If not, that could be the problem. I assume these IPs have not been assigned to you. It is better practice to use reserved addys. 10.x.x.x is all yours, do with it what you will.

I have a 3 computer intranet in my room. 2 machines are win95 and 1 is FreeBSD 3.2. They are connected via 10BaseT UTP at a Linksys hub. Heres my problem: I can't ping the windows machines at all, and the windows machines can't ping the FreeBSD machine. The windows machines can ping each other. To make things more complicated, when I run tcpdump I can see the attempts from the windows machines on the BSD box with the proper ips. Heres the output from tcpdump when I ping BSD: 12:37:26.618523 200.200.1.2 > 200.200.1.3: icmp: echo request 12:37:28.102603 200.200.1.2 > 200.200.1.3: icmp: echo request 12:37:29.120196 200.200.1.2 > 200.200.1.3: icmp: echo request 12:37:30.135294 200.200.1.2 > 200.200.1.3: icmp: echo request Why isn't the BSD box responding? The computers are seeing each other, but not at the same time. Do I need to do routing even though they are directly connected on the same hub? Thanks in advance!
