Re: Other computers cannot ping my computer

[Alfred Hovdestad <alfred hovdestad usask ca>]

Let's look at this from the other end.  What message do the other 
machines in the network get when they try to ping you?   Can they 
resolve your host name to your IP address (host SERVER)?  Are they 
trying to ping your hostname or your IP address?  If they cannot ping 
your hostname, have them try pinging your IP address.  Maybe your 
hostname is not registered with your DNS server.
