ping lab machine fail but internet ok


My FC3 machine cannot ping nor nslookup the lab machine lab12 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.3-7) fail but the FC3 machine can ping lab12's numerical IP addresses and can access internet successfully.
How to fix this problem?

Add lab12 to the fc3's /etc/hosts, or add lab12 to the dns server.
