You're certainly on to something with the MAC idea....
This PC runs an Avid DS suite, and has Tinder as well. The licensing
for these programs is tied to various system IDs including the MAC. I
noticed the MAC was being entered in the NIC properties, so it's not
using it's default. If I change this, and use the default, all the
problems go away. When I use this specific MAC, I get flaky
connectivity. Is it possible there is another device on the network
using this MAC? Bad routing table somewhere perhaps? Any suggestions
on how to track it down?
Thanks again!

What's the MAC address for the DG? What does 'arp -a' reveal while a
successful ping is going on, and after it fails?

The default gateway is actually 192.168.0.101. When you
experienced this
issue, was just one station affected, or all? If I ping the same
DG from
other stations, I do not experience the timeouts.
Thanks!

Maybe a wild shot, but we had this problem once.
Is the default gateway 192.168.0.1?
Vendor brought in a DVR with had a static ip configured to that
same.
Chased that one down for quite a while.
Could be someone brought in a wap or other device with same ip as
the
default gateway.

Subject: Strange network issue
Good morning,
I'm having a very odd networking issue with one computer in the
office. The machine in question is an HP box running XP Pro and is
used for video editing. When the editor tries to access network
resources, he sometimes loses his network connection and his process
basically locks up. This happens during simple file transfers
through
Explorer.
Here's where it gets weird...
I started a continuos ping (ping -t) to the file server in question,
and everything looks great. No lost packets at all. I then ran the
same ping to the default gateway and I'm seeing a lot of Request
time
outs. I'd say 10-15% of the ping requests fail.
Any idea why I'd have trouble pinging the DG, but not a resource on
the other side of the DG?
Thank you,
