Lots of questions...
1. Describe the physical network. (10-Base2 (BNC co-ax), 10-Base-T
(UTP or STP), or something else? Hub? Crossover? T connectors and
terminators?)
2. What protocols are you using? (Ping implies TCP/IP, but you may
have others installed as well.)
3. What addresses and subnet masks are you using?
4. What gateway settings?
5. Contents of HOSTS and LMHOSTS files.
