In my local network all devices are connected via a switch, and every devices answer to ping adressed from my PC.
But 2 devices (Linux operated boxes) when one is answering my request, the other stop to answer.
And alternatively, when the other answer, the first stop answering.
What kind of switch is it? Have you tried it through a router or a hub just to rule out the switch? I like to rule out the easy stuff before I get too deep into troubleshooting...
