Boy do I feel stupid. Thanks for the suggestions. The machines that I could not ping have never had to go to the Internet before and therefore did not have proper gateways set up - duh!

Some Linux distributions seem to think that the sysetm's more secure if they don't enable ping (e.g. Mandrake 8.2 and possibly 9.0 in their default settings). I've used quite a few of the LinkSys BEFVP41 VPN boxes, but never their ``endpoint''. I think that the endpoint box is designed to be just that, and endpoint, not a router for a network.
