Isn't the ability to process pings established on a network - wide basis? iow, if your sysadmin turned them off, your machine just wouldn't 'hear' them.

I have been working on a machine with a new installation of XP Pro. This afternoon it stopped responding to pings from other machines on the LAN connected to the same switch. It can ping other machines just fine. It seems to access data from the server and browse the Internet without a problem. I tried another cable and different port on the switch - no change. I swapped Ethernet cards - got a different assigned IP address but still have the same problem. I turned off the Windows firewall - no effect. Ideas anyone?
