Interesting issue.
I occasionally have Windows XP machines that drop their connection to the network.
You can ping any other machine from these units, yet, you cannot ping these clients.
I have run netdiag and it reports no problems. I have had some success removing and adding these units back to the domain. I also have a GPO that forces XP clients to connect to the network versus using cached information.
Invariably, this issue continues to surface. I have a mixture of Compaq PCs and Dell PCs. This has never happened on any of my Windows 2000 clients.
