Ping from PDC (no good) Ping from client (good)

Windows 2k server and xp pro clients. When I ping to the ip of a biometric time clock from server I time out.

Same ping from client machine works fine.

When I use arp -a from the server I get the correct mac address.

On one attempt to ping from the server I succeeded. The rest of the time no reply.

Any ideas,

Thanks
Jorge P.

Have you checked your wins and/or dns entries for this ip address? Perhaps there is some corruption or misconfiguration? Using lmhosts files? check them also.

You don't mention routers, gateways or anything so I have to assume you are on a single subnet which would make this extremely rare.

If on different subnets [server and clock] look at gateway entries and router configs. Someone is not forwarding icmp packets.

Which brings me to the last but not least item to check - firewall software installed on the server. Make sure icmp [which is what ping uses] isn't blocked.
