Firstly, check that the netmask on all the boxes is 255.255.255.0
Secondly, if the boxes arn't trying to go any where outside of the network
then you have no need of a gateway, or is your gateway a 5th machine you
haven't mentioned.
Thirdly, be more specific about what can, or cannot, get to where; like
you say they can ping an address, resolve an IP but get no reply - that
just doesn't make sense.
