You have rouge entries in either DNS or in WINS. Clean out entries
pertaining to that WS and IP#,...it doesn't matter if the IP# is correct or
not,...remove any entry pertaining in any way to the effected machine and
reboot the WS so it re-registeres itself.
Then /flushDNS on the machine you are pinging "from".
