Unable to Ping a local host

I have multiple XP (3) & Win 2000 (1) systems on a home (workgroup) network
running through a internet gateway. I have no problems sharing the internet
with all the systems. The problem is, I'm unable to ping one of my systems.
I've made sure all the settings are correct. The funny thing is that on the
system that I can not ping, it will ping other systems. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Perhaps the firewall on the misbehaving system is blocking ping requests,
but the firewalls on the rest of the computers aren't.

Rather than disabling the firewall - check ICMP settings and verify that
"allow incoming echo request" is enabled.
