What message(s) do you get back from the ping attempt?
Try this:
su - -c "traceroute ip_address"
Does the traceroute tell you anything different?
Often the NIC itself returns the ping... in fact... I have two machines
on my
network that return a ping when they're powered off... because the NIC still
has power. It would seem that the machine has been "changed" intentionally
or unintentionally to swallow the ping requests. Somebody is playing with
you.... obviously.
