ping problems

[Keith Antoine]

Have a problem that has reared its head on a small network at Care 
Services wwere I do voluntary work a few hours a week.
A call in medical alert system with a server and 2 workstations setup 
with NT4, not a choice we like, however until we can
afford to change its all we have. The medical alert software is by 
Tunstall and called Vision. Workstation 1 one fell over about a
week ago. We got the drive re-installed but it would not work, turned 
out to be the network would not see the database on the server.

Have replaced the software and the card still no go. The workstation 
will NOT ping the server but will ping workstation 2: Server will ping
workstation 1 and 2; workststion 2 will ping 1. Now I am stumped.

There is a hub in the system and a big box called a LIMBOX which handles 
the calls. I am not NT4 savvy either.

Yes we are in the throws of changing to 2003 server xp and Patriot 
software. No software available to work on linux unfortuneately.
