IPCop drops all requests from certain LAN IPs
We have an IPCop box which has been on our network for a number of years now and generally works well. Up until recently, it was only accessed by a limited number of machines, but now we're setting it as the gateway for everything on the network.
The problem is that it doesn't seem to respond to certain internal IP addresses. It drops all requests from 192.168.1.26, for example and won't even respond to pings from that IP, but will route requests from 192.168.1.24 with no trouble.
I can't see anything in the firewall rules on the IPCop interface which looks relevant and I've also tried iptables. The only entries I can see relating to private IPs are ones which should be there and don't relate to the IPs in question.
I have a feeling that this was set up intentionally by a former network admin a number of years ago, but I've no idea how he's done it.
Neither networking nor linux are among my specialities, so I'm not really sure what to try next.
