I have seen this sort of activity before. Which version of Windows are
you using, and which service pack?
I had a machine that would never connect unless I used the real IP
address, but that was on a Win98SE machine ( which is still in use ;) )
The eventual fix came with an update to the driver for the network card,
but what was even more peculiar was I had two identical machine with all
the same hardware and software ( used the same install disk ) which did
not have the problem.
Windows Routing still leaves a lot to be desired, and does depend on the
order things are installed. Removing a network connection can disable
TCP/IP which is what I think you are seeing, ping is just lying ;)
