That's very very strange.

You say that the Smoothwall PC is your gateway ... Can mojo get Internet
access through it?

Is there any firewall software running on the Win2kSP4 machine?
Zonealarm or something similar

And are there any weird firewall rules set on the Smoothwall machine
that could be interfering?

No, it behaves exactly the same vis-a-vis the other computers. It can
ping
apu and krusty by hostname and IP, but can't ping monty by IP address.

The only real difference I can see between the 2 Windows machines is the
fact that the "defective" machine has Service Pack 4, not 2 as in the
one
that works.
